Italy has changed a lot since the 90s. This documentary may interest you, it's about Berlusconi's media impact.
That's the thing, the mayor has made this statement but not elaborated on precisely what is meant by use women's bodies or launch sexist messages - if you can't use women's bodies at all, pretty much all nylon billboard will be extinct as they usually simply show legs in various nylon colors. They haven't defined what is a sexist message either, we've debated what gender stereotypes are actually sexist in advertising for years now.
YOURS!
Forgot to embed Carlsberg's Tweet as well:

Sidenote: Taking the lords name in vain is offensive to Christians, of which there are more than 2 billion in the world (2010 stats). If we have a responsibility to listen to people who tell us that X hurts, this also applies to listening to Christians, I'll suppose.
The ASA (advertising standards authority) have received complaints and will look into it. The campaign has run its course and the posters are being replaced by new adverts. The most the ASA can ever do is say" that ad can not run again in its current form" which an ad tends not to do anyway once it has finished its run.
I'll also note that the retweeted DOVE ad/tweet is in that Telegraph article.
