Here's a girl with a social conscience.

Good luck to her I say.

Italian porn star Laura Perego took part in a protest to “highlight poverty in Italy in the current economic climate,” battling poverty the best way anyone can - by painting Italy’s colors on her body and getting naked in front of the Milan Stock Exchange.

At least she got herself noticed.

I didn't realise Italy was particularly poor?

EDIT: upon further investigation, this shows she was doing it for the sake of attention:
