An Artist should really have a sense of his culture and community.

An artist who created a memorial for those killed in a dam disaster has sparked outrage after referring to Welsh language activists as the “Taliban”.
Giovanni Jacovelli, who produced a replacement memorial for 16 people who died after a dam failed and flooded Dolgarrog in 1925, caused controversy when he made the remark on Twitter.

After people questioned why the memorial was not also written in Welsh, he said:
He seems to have now deleted it

His comments sparked anger on the social media platform.
North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Arfon Jones was one of those to express his disappointment in the comments made by the currently-closed Conwy Valley Maze owner.

He said:

 “Shameful comment about my first language and culture, you should apologise and withdraw gracefully.”

It's a pisspoor "artist" who has no feeling for community.

Mr Jacovelli  seems to have deleted  the  Tweet

 
He sems to be not entirely to blame for the area created the new memorial after a request from Dolgarrog Community Council.

Dafydd Williams, chairman of the community council, said he planned to speak with councillors to see if a translation of the memorial could be included.

“Mr Jacovelli has done a marvellous job in putting this together and when I asked him to do this job I told him that we wanted it to be the same as the old memorial.

“It wasn’t in Welsh either and I had said to do it the same.”
Cllr Williams said it was “my slip up” and said he was hopeful something could be done about it.

But surely the Council saw some preliminary sketches and approved Mr
Jacovelli's work before it started.

Even if he is not entirely to blame Mr Jacovelli response to criticism was appalling and he seems to have form 

In 2014 Members of Trefriw Community Council,council called police after Giovanni Jacovelli took it upon himself to gild carved wreath citing 'criminal damage'

I dn't know how good an artist Mr Jacovell is but he seems to be full of his sense of importance and if he seems to need to meet criticism positively especially when it's not a criticism of his art but of what is missing in this circumstance.
