The 2004 edition of the Calendario Romano, a calendar that promotes tourism to the Eternal City, has raised some eyebrows. It features 12 handsome priests posing in traditional cassocks and with cappello and berretta hats in front of famous Roman landmarks. "The priests are young and good-looking, but that doesn't make them sex symbols. That depends on the imagination of the viewer," says the calendar's photographer, Piero Pazzi. Sales are apparently brisk. "It's mainly older women who are buying it," observes Pazzi. (Reuters, April 22, 2003)
