We live in a world where morals and beliefs can differ greatly. People hold on to their values and aren’t afraid to express them, even in unexpected situations.
Recently, an incident in Naples, Italy caught the attention of many. Serena de Ferrari and British model Kyshan Wilson were participating in a photo shoot when they decided to share a kiss on the street. While this may seem normal for some, not everyone is comfortable with same-sex relationships. One person in particular, an unidentified nun, was clearly irritated and intervened.
The nun swiftly approached the models, separating them and shouting in Italian, “What are you doing? This is the devil’s work!” Surprisingly, the models couldn’t help but giggle at the unexpected confrontation.
After the incident was shared online, it sparked a range of opinions. Some argued that it was wrong to impose religious beliefs on others, while others suggested that the models should have been more understanding and respectful towards the nun’s perspective.
Roberta Mastalia, one of the makeup artists present at the photo shoot, described the incident as follows: “We were on location in the Spanish Quarter in Naples, in a small side street with the two models when suddenly the nun walked past. She asked us if we had been to Mass that day, and when we replied ‘No,’ she started blaming young people for the pandemic. Then she saw the two models in a kissing pose, and that’s when she rushed forward to separate them.”
Mastalia continued: “Our initial reaction was shock, but then we took it as a light-hearted moment. As you can see in the video, the two girls were laughing. We politely asked the nun to leave, explaining that we needed to continue our work, and she walked away slowly.”
Both models shared the incident on their Instagram pages, along with some pictures from the photo shoot.
This incident has ignited a passionate debate and will likely continue to be discussed in the future. It serves as a reminder of how diverse and contradictory our world can be. We must strive to understand and respect different perspectives, even when they clash with our own.
