Marco Granelli

Marco Granelli, a local Milan councillor, is in the news regarding the recent restoration of a famous bull mosaic located in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The mosaic, known as the Rampant Bull, had developed a small crater due to tourists repeatedly grinding their heels on its testicles, a practice believed by some to bring good luck. Granelli announced over the weekend that the mosaic had been 'completely restored.' However, the restoration has drawn bemusement and mockery from the public, with many noting that the anatomical detail of the bull's testicles appears to have been erased or significantly altered. This has become a point of public discussion and lighthearted criticism in Milan, highlighting a cultural quirk and the unexpected outcomes of public works projects.
