A billboard with Hollywood actress Julianne Moore posing in the buff for a fashion campaign has been banned in Venice after it was deemed “inappropriate”. The Laws of Attraction star stripped off for a recent shoot for Bulgari handbags, the promotional poster for which was to be erected in the city’s famous St Mark’s Square. But Venice’s recently elected mayor, Giorgio Orsoni, deemed the picture, which shows Moore posing with only a handbag protecting her modesty, too risque. ”An advertisement showing a nude woman on a divan is not appropriate for St Mark’s Square,” he said. The billboard will instead show less racy images of the 49-year-old actress fully dressed and modelling Bulgari jewellery.Moore, 49, is seen reclining on a divan with her modesty preserved by a black and gold handbag and two lion cubs. The ad had been expected to adorn the Doge’s Palace, which overlooks St Mark’s Square and Venice’s lagoon, but it was deemed too risque by the city’s recently elected mayor, Giorgio Orsoni. It will now be replaced by less racy images of Moore fully dressed and modelling Bulgari jewellery. ”An advertisement showing a nude woman on a divan is not appropriate for St Mark’s Square,” the Telegraph quoted Orsoni as saying.
