Activists protest in front of Botticelli’s masterpiece in Italy


Environmentalists have pasted images of the floods in Tuscany

The famous painting “The Birth of Venus”, by the painter Sandro Botticelli, has been the subject of yet another protest led by environmental activists from the “Ultima Generazione” group in Italy.

The Renaissance masterpiece, displayed at the Uffizi Galleries in Florence, was covered in images of the flood that destroyed several Tuscan towns in November and killed eight people.

Botticelli’s painting did not suffer any damage as it is protected by a glass cover.

The act, according to the world’s leading Renaissance museum, was carried out by two members of the group. Due to the demonstration, site employees forced tourists to leave and closed the room.

The “Last Generation” activists were responsible for various acts throughout Italy. In one of them, militants threw mud outside the Basilica of San Marco, in Venice, and dyed the water of the historic Barcaccia fountain, in Rome, black. .
