In the Italian city of Florence, a tourist caused outrage by climbing the statue of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, and posing in 'obscene' positions.

According to a report on the BBC, a photo shared on social media shows the tourist kissing the statue, while other photos depict her in sexual poses. The rapidly spreading photos sparked outrage on social media, with some users even calling for the tourist to be arrested.

Patrizia Asproni, president of the Confcultura foundation, which promotes Italy's cultural heritage, told Italian media, "This display of rudeness and barbarism keeps repeating because everyone believes they have the right to do whatever they want without facing any consequences."

Asproni advocated for "strict supervision, high fines, and zero tolerance" for such behaviors.
