On a reproduction of what painting (work and artist, please), in Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's official residence, was a bared breast painted over so it would not show during press conferences ?

It gave rise to a few British comments about not having one too many 'tits' on display when he gave a press conference, the word being a common English one for an incompetent or fool as well as a nipple.

The picture is La Verita Svelata dal Tempore by Gianbattista Tiepolo.

More serious British commentators noted that Prime Minister Berlusconi owns TV stations.One of them increased its ratings by having housewives disrobe for the cameras.

Spot on (and great additional info there !).

Thanks for the answer.
