Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's most controversial leader since Mussolini, has blocked plans for a dramatically curving skyscraper designed for Milan by one of the world's most original architects, Daniel Liebskind - on the grounds the tower is not `manly' - ie. erect - enough.
According to The Art Newspaper Liebskind hit back, calling Berlusconi `abominable', while Italian cultural guru Umberto Eco's view on the building was: " Milan is full of people with crooked members, there will simply be one more in need of Viagra".
