‘Saint Chinaglia’? Ivanka Trump mistakes Lazio legend for religious icon

The daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump thought a mural of the striker at a Rome restaurant indicated sainthood, but was corrected

Giorgio Chinaglia may be a legend in Rome, but Ivanka Trump initially thought he was something even greater.

The daughter of the U.S. President Donald Trump, accompanying her father on his visit to Italy, was in the restaurant ‘Le cave di Sant’Ignazio’ with her husband and mistook an image of the striker as he looked toward the heavens as an indication he was a saint.

In fairness to Trump, the restaurant features many images, some of which are religious in nature.
