Blitz by Ultima Generazione activists yesterday at the Accademia Gallery in Florence to protest and ask for the approval of an “anti-natural disaster fund” during the peak hour of tourist visits. Four young people in the museum room where Michelangelo’s David is displayed sat under the statue, unfurling a banner with the words ‘Repair Fund’. A foreign visitor sat with them on the floor during the short demonstration. Two of the activists chained themselves to the David’s protective railing. The raid was interrupted a few minutes after the arrival of the police. The museum was closed to allow the identification of the participants in the blitz and immediately reopened to visitors. Their position is being examined by investigators who will have to evaluate any criminal aspects of the protest.
