News - 14 Marzo 2019 Montanelli, with his “Rented Child Bride”, Does not Deserve a Statue in his Honor On March 8th, a statue of Indro Montanelli that has been standing for several years in a park in Milan, was smeared with washable pink paint by a feminist group. This act was carried out to commemorate an episode of sexual abuse on an Eritrean girl about which, despite having several opportunities to do so, the prominent journalist never apologized or stated any regrets. Removing that statue would help change a still existent chauvinistic male mentality in Italy.
