Italy: Twelve young priests have raised eyebrows in Italy by joining the ranks of housewives and porn stars in posing for a glossy calendar, albeit sombrely dressed in long, dark robes and broad-brimmed, traditional hats.
The priests feature in "Calendario Romano 2004", which aims to promote tourism in the Italian capital, and are photographed standing in front of famous Rome landmarks.
"I usually photograph gondoliers for Venetian calendars, but this time I wanted to do something Roman, and what better than priests?" the photographer Piero Pazzi said.- (Reuters)
