The statuette of Giuseppe Conte holding a briefcase and a sign with the words 'Vado e torno'. This is how Genny Di Virgilio, a craftsman from San Gregorio Armeno in Naples, recounts the resignation of the Prime Minister.
The terracotta 'shepherd', made like others taking a cue from current events, is, in the intention of the author, a message of good wishes to Conte.
"I chose to add the sign to the statue - Di Virgilio explains to ANSA - because I hope that this government crisis will return as soon as possible, so as to allow President Conte to tackle the problems due to the pandemic"
