This piece of art is from Sicily where they protest the US Navy space-directed communications facility called Mobile User Objective System (MUOS). The system utilizes four satellites and four ground facilities located in Australia, Virginia, Hawaii and Sicily.  The facility in Sicily is pictured below.  It was built in the middle of a cork forest preserve.  Regular protests have been held there for more than 11 years.
