(CNN)An Italian football anti-racism initiative featuring paintings of monkeys has received widespread criticism after its release Monday.
The sport in Italy has been blighted by racist abuse this season, and the artwork commissioned by Serie A was designed to stop fans directing monkey chants at players.
Artist Simone Fugazzotto came up with the idea for the Coppa Italia final between Lazio and Atalanta in May -- and it's part of an official anti-racism initiative that was officially unveiled on Monday.
Fugazzotto said his triptych of monkeys was intended to show that there's no difference between humans and apes, an idea that he decided to use after watching a match between Inter Milan and Napoli.

Really on brand.

CNN, headline contains the term "outrage" of course. Doesn't seem like combining anti-racism and monkeys is a very good idea, though.

It's not racist, it's art.
Banana on the wall art, but still art.

I just googled him and it looks like everything he does is monkeys. Whose bright idea was it to hire him ?

Was that mizzou pic confirmed real?
One of those things that I could see happening on one hand, but not really sure how in the frick that was able to get past all the people that look at this shite before it's posted.

Who cares. It's soccer and we're in America!

Italians are really racist and there is very little that Serie A or FIFA are going to do to stop it. The Ultras in Italy are some of the most intense fans in the world.
In the last couple of years they’ve had incidents throwing bananas at players and even hitting them with coins.

But America is just the worst place on earth for minorities, right?
