For Bambi Magazine‘s 7th issue, photographer Michel Perez and gorgeous Romanian model Catrinel Menghia embark on an expansive adventure through the romantic coasts and cobbled streets of rustic Sicily. There are 32 shots total, ranging from glimpses of Menghia keeping old men company, to arguing with her studly Italian boyfriend, and even rearing chickens amongst the olive trees. With her dark locks and coy demeanor, she’s like a modern-day Apollonia Vitelli, minus all the exploding car stuff.

Now watch a swarm of spraypaint-wielding vandals scribble it all up in a matter of seconds! Cathartic.

Lead by the Stockholm-based graffiti artist NUG — in all his signature destructive madness — the group was participating in the city’s FAME Festival. Only 3 or 4 were actually trained vandals. The rest were happy amateur recruits. Now see them whoop, swoosh and spray the insides of a series of snow-white, empty rooms. Ahhh.

On Sunday, throngs of women all across Italy demonstrated to demand the resignation of hooker-loving Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for being corrupt and presumably, way too much like their husbands.

Milan Council is mulling it over. The artist has previously lynched children, meteorite-blasted the Pope, scared Hitler and did stuff to horses. He enjoys Wagner and girls in mini-skirts. And telling jerks to go fuck themselves. |Image: Andrew Russeth.|

Following all the domestically painted tributes to SACE aka Dash Snow, comes an Italian memorial. Fellow writer VIZIE brought back photos of a piece dedicated to the vandal in Rome.

Culvert-crawling artist Judith Supine apparently found some very young Italian interns to help paste up his work and keep an eye out for la polizia.

Barack Obama appears to be one one those ‘it’s ok to look but not touch kind of guys,’ but boy did he get caught looking at a G8 function. The usually disciplined diplomat was photographed acting like pervy Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi as this sexily-shaped female passed by and French President Nicolas Sarkozy smirked mischievously. Or as Reuters reports: “U.S. President Barack Obama and France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy take their places with junior G8 delegates.” Click below to see the young woman that broke our president’s neck and looks just good from the front too. Update: Video evidence exonerates Obama.

Her name is Mayara Tavares. She’s a 17-year-old junior delegate from Brazil according to UNICEF.

Lance Armstrong and his Shepard Fairy designed bike are nowhere to be seen, but if you look hard you can spot one of his teammates pulling up the rear during stage three of the Giro d’Italia.
