01:00It's also sparked wrath from Italy's opposition parties.
01:03Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi shared two of the pictures,
01:07saying that Tiani had become more of a meme than a minister.
01:11And here, senators from several opposition parties posted a picture of themselves in skirts,
01:16in an act of protest one described as being about women's freedom to dress without men judging them.
01:22Tiani even earned a rebuke from the Catholic Church.
01:25Giuseppe Batturi, head of the Italian Bishops' Conference,
01:28said that every word directed at a woman must be filled with respect and admiration.
01:34Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Malone said that the comment came out badly
01:38and warned people not to blow it out of proportion.
01:41And as for Tiani, he's since apologized, saying he never intended to offend women.
