Brussels – The European Parliament, for the first time, is hosting in its Brussels headquarters an exhibition on Giorgio La Pira: 19 photographic panels set up near the staircase leading to the plenary chamber tell the story of the “Holy Mayor.”

However, the image has been edited—it’s part of a series called ‘Restyles of the Dead and Famous’ by photographer
