Rome CNN —Italian officials are trying to identify a young woman who was filmed kissing, humping and grinding against a statue of Bacchus, the god of wine and sensuality, in Florence over the weekend. His original Bacchus is kept in the Bargello Museum in the center of Florence. The act has sparked a wide range of reaction on social media platform X – from outrage to ironic amusement. In 2023, a group of young tourists posing for pictures to post on social media were accused of toppling a valuable statue at a villa in northern Italy. Back in Florence in the same year, a tourist was detained, accused of damaging a statue in the 16th-century Fountain of Neptune in the Piazza della Signoria.

The tiny space sits beneath the Medici Chapels in Florence, where Michelangelo sculpted intricate tombs for members of the Medici family behind the church of San Lorenzo in the Sagrestia Nuova, or New Sacristry. The death sentence was rescinded after two months, and Michelangelo returned to work in Florence, before moving to Rome four years later.
