Authorities in Italy are looking into the personality of a young lady who was filmed engaged in inappropriate behavior with a statue of Bacchus, the goddess of wines and sensuality, in Florence over the weekend.
Following the rapid spread of images of the victim’s actions on social media platforms, the country’s culture ministry and Florence officials have strongly condemned the event.
The Florence president’s office described the behavior as an “mimicked sex,” according to a statement from CNN.
According to Florence City Hall, the photographer’s identity remains unidentified, and they suggested that she was “presumably in a state of inebriation”.
According to an legislation that forbids any form of abuse toward the country’s cultural identity, the woman may face fines and possibly a life-time ban from the city if she is identified.
The memorial in question is a rehash of Giambologna’s 16th-century sculpture, which was a master painter. Giambologna, who was influenced by Hellenistic artwork and the functions of Michelangelo, settled in Florence in 1552.
The copy of Saturn is located on a road corner near the Ponte Vecchio gate, while the original is housed in the Bargello Museum in northern Florence.
On the social media platform X, there have been a variety of reactions to the affair, from anger to humorous pleasure.
