  It still sucks, but I guess it’s better than letting monuments crumble.

    If only the owner of those churches was one of the wealthiest organizations on the planet... Oh, wait

      And they’ll stay wealthy for longer by letting some big companies pay for an ad on the scaffolding covering up the cathedral while restoration takes place.

        It also helps that they took out a huge litigation (read: rape) insurance policy.

    This monument was paid by indulgences. ADs on top of it are free money for the church they can spend brainwashing people into their cult.

  Religious monuments in italy are owned by the catholic church. If they are in need of money perhaps the pope could sell same of their golden gauntlets or their apartments in london

  The italian goverment doesn’t lack money either, politicians just raised their salary.

  The really essence of this building is to be an AD for the church, which by the time it was build was a state with an army.

    Yeah, the whole thing is a monument to evil men exploiting the locals.

  Seems more like a bad photoshop to me.

    It looks weird because it’s a screen sponsored by Samsung, you can also see it on Apple Maps:

      Huh. I don’t like it but I get it.

    That’s probably because the ad isn’t actually on the facade of the building. It’s on the scaffolding put up against the facade while restorations take place. They put an image of the building itself on the scaffolding canvas, and then put a screen in front of that.
