Visitors attend the opening of artist Badiucao's exhibition in the Santa Giulia Museum, in Brescia, Saturday, November 13, 2021. A provocative exhibit by dissident Chinese artist Badiucao opened Saturday in the industrial northern Italian city of Brescia despite pressure from the Chinese embassy in Rome to cancel it. A letter from the embassy included veiled economic threats, noting Italy’s trade with China, in a bid to prevent the first solo exhibit by Badiucao – the pseudonym used by the artist whose work takes aim at China's policies and human rights record.
