The large advertising installation that was erected a few days ago on one of the buildings behind the dome of the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola, overlooking Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples, is becoming a social media controversy.

The criticisms, in addition to someone talking about the opportunity to advertise a well-known condom brand among statues that reproduce saints and crucifixes, focus on the excessive size of the billboard that at night with a practically dark square ends up being - it is emphasized - 'a punch in the eye'.

On social media, there are also those who question the role of the Superintendence: 'So careful in the past - it is noted on social media - to sanction redevelopment interventions of the famous square and now has not expressed itself on the mega advertising installation'.

The images posted by the Neapolitan photographer Giancarlo De Luca with the illuminated installation during the day between the dark silhouettes of the dome and the colonnade, have immediately received numerous likes sparking the discussion in chat.
