Genaro Lozano Day of the Dead events in Rome, Digi Mart USA News (Rome, Italy): Mexican Ambassador Genaro Lozano responded to criticism of the Day of the Dead celebrations held in Rome. He defended the work of the Embassy of Mexico in Italy, which he described as the target of a disinformation campaign regarding the activities organized for the holiday.
According to Lozano, three events took place. These included an altar at the diplomatic headquarters, an activity at the Capitoline Museums linked to the Diego Rivera exhibition, and a parade of catrinas through the center of Rome.
Lozano said the parade gathered more than 1,000 people and included members of the Mexican community and the Catrinas of Rome. He also said the opening of the altar was free and open to the public, and that the museum activation brought together 30 Italian influencers from the art world.
The diplomat shared images of the activities and invited readers to consult the embassy’s official accounts for its account of events.
