Overview
- Carlo Calenda posted a photo of a tryzub tattoo on his wrist on X, writing “E mò ce lo siamo tatuati per la vita” and including the hashtag #slavaukraini.
- The outlet describes the hashtag as the official salute of Ukraine’s armed forces whose wider use is considered contentious because of historical associations mentioned in the report.
- The specific meaning of the tattoo’s design is reported as unclear, with interpretations ranging from a stylized hawk to an anchor with cross-like shapes.
- Calenda has previously highlighted a shark tattoo he said he got while drunk before his wedding and an 'A' representing his party Azione on his other arm.
- Uncertainty remains over a touted SPQR marking, and a prior pledge to tattoo EU stars after Azione failed to surpass 5% was not fulfilled.
