The first-ever statue of Pope Francis has been unveiled in a potato field near Naples — an unorthodox homage to the fact that the Argentine pope’s ancestors were farmers in northern Italy.
The primitive-style statue was shown on Sunday, with a painted background of the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica on which the pope stood after his election at a conclave of cardinals in March.
De Stefano,an Italian actor who erected the statue said that he would present the statue to the pope next month.
