Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini was photobombed and he doesn't look very comfortable about it.

It happened in Caltanissetta, Sicily, where he was attending a rally in support of Oscar Aiello's — like Salvini a member of ruling League party — bid for mayor. It was instead of going to memorials for Italy's liberation from Nazi occupation, a decision which has caused much outrage.

Salvini was taking a selfie with supporters when two female students, Gaia and Matilde, decided to kiss in protest of him attending a conference on family values in Verona in March.

The World Congress of Families, whose self-declared goal is to restore what it calls the "natural family order", sparked protests from women's rights and LGBT groups.

The picture, which was taken by Gaia, was initially posted on her Instagram on Thursday with the ironic caption "Hello friend" and tagged Salvini. But the photo went viral after Italian civic activist Marco Furfaro shared it on Facebook with the caption: "Caltanissetta protesters. Love beats hate 3-0. Trolling Salvini to the extreme. You rock Gaia and Matilde."

The image was then used by several LGBT websites before ending on the online pages of the major national newspapers.

On Italian Twitter, the hashtag #GaiaeMatilde was also trending.

The video below shows the moment Gaia takes the picture.
