I am genuinely shocked and baffled by this installation in the main square of Bologna, Italy

With all due respect, they look like kidney stones
Absolutely horrifying!

“Why are they doing this? Can they not see that it is ugly?”
Everyone can agree that it is indeed very ugly. No one did this because they thought it was nice.
So why do they do it?
The phenomenon is called power-tripping.
They know it will upset people, and this is the reason they do it.
It is similar to dragging an enemy banner through the mud – it is a dishonourable sign of dominance.
They get a rush from doing it.
They get a rush from destroying things that are dear to others.
Once you understand this dynamic you will see it quite often.
