Massimo Gramellini, a top commentator for La Stampa daily, wrote in a front-page editorial: 'I would like to understand why a kiss between two gays. In overwhelmingly Roman Catholic Italy, skimpily dressed women are a fixture on many TV programs, while scenes of sex and violence in movies are generally left untouched. Luigi Vimercati, a center-left lawmaker, told Corriere he would take up the issue in parliament. 'It is grotesque that RAI censored scenes that have the same content as those seen in most prime-time movies,' Benedetto Della Vedova, a conservative lawmaker, was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera newspaper. Some commentators and politicians were not satisfied, saying the cuts would not have been justified even if the film had been aired earlier.

RAI pledged to show the complete movie soon. When it was decided to air it late at night, no one checked for the uncut version, it said. RAI said in a statement the film had arrived from the distributor already cut so that it could be shown in prime time. In an interview with La Repubblica daily, Luxuria said cutting the key scenes was 'like showing the Mona Lisa without its head.' 'I don't believe it was an oversight, I believe it was preventive censorship,' said gay rights advocate and former lawmaker Vladimir Luxuria. RAI's second channel aired the film on Monday cutting out a sex scene and a sequence showing a kiss between the lead characters, played by the late Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. The 2005 movie won three Oscars, including the best director award for Lee, as well as the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
