Spanish tourist undressed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence

A tourist from Spain amazed visitors to the Uffizi Florentine gallery, stripping naked in front of one of the most famous Renaissance masterpieces.

Standing close to one of the most popular creations of the great artist Sandro Botticelli Birth of Venus (Nascita di Venere), which depicts the goddess of beauty and love, the 25-year-old guy silently undressed. After that, he folded his arms in the same way as Venus painted: one on the chest, and the second in the lower abdomen. But this idea was not enough for the young man. He knelt down and began to scatter rose petals around him.

The shocked gallery workers immediately tried to stop the strange visitor. One of the employees threw a towel on the creative man, and the second called the police. Other tourists who were “lucky” to see a peculiar performance captured this funny moment on their cameras, and soon the pictures with the image of a “fan” of art circled the whole world, flickering on social networks. Eyewitnesses of what was happening later recalled that showering the floor of the gallery in front of the picture, a hot Spaniard shouted “Freedom! Freedom! ”Before he was detained by law enforcement officers.

“I was in one of the gallery corridors when I heard that an employee said that he needed help and mentioned a naked man near Venus,” recalled local guide Susanna Mantovanno. “I thought it was some kind of joke, but later we went into the hall and saw him on his knees scattering rose petals. "I saw how the police took him, in general the situation was very peaceful."

As it turned out later, the detained native of glorious Spain really wanted to know if he really became an Internet star. He asked the police if ordinary visitors to the gallery had photographed him on a telephone camera. “Is it true that people took pictures of me on their smartphones?” He asked. An ardent connoisseur of art will soon be charged with obscene behavior in a public place.

It is worth noting that this is not the first case this month when Italians saw a naked man in a public place. Another story happened in early March, when a resident of Verona demonstrated his ability to strip, undressing right in front of the altar in the church. Fortunately for the parishioners of the church of St. Peter the Apostle (San Pietro Apostolo), a 45-year-old man left his underwear on.

Later it was found that the lover of bareness actually sought to demonstrate to God "his natural" I ". By the way, he waited long enough for the attention of higher powers: the man was in no hurry to dress and stood without clothes for about 45 minutes.

A priest of the parish, where an unusual incident occurred, later said that some difficulties arose in the detention of the criminal by the police. Investigators managed to find out that the exposed man was mentally healthy and that he was fined 300 euros. He was charged with the same article as his Spanish "colleague."
