A bar of soap allegedly made of fat removed from Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has gone on show in Zurich. It is part of an exhibition at the Migros museum of contemporary art, whose news release explains that the fat was removed when Berlusconi underwent liposuction at a clinic in the southern Swiss canton of Ticino in 2004. An employee of the clinic is said to have given it to the Geneva-based artist, Gianni Motti. The soap, which is whitish in color and measures 1.8 by 8.2 by 4.9 centimeters, hit the headlines when it was exhibited at the 2005 Art Basel fair. It was eventually sold to a private collector for tens of thousands of francs.
