The Florence museum housing Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece, the “David” sculpture, has invited students from a Florida charter school after complaints about the display of the statue forced the principal of the school to resign. Some parents complained that the frontal nudity of the statue exposed their children to pornography, prompting others to defend it as simply a work of art.
Completed between 1501 and 1504, Michelangelo’s “David” was instantly hailed as a masterpiece for its time. Renaissance artist Giorgio Vasari said the “David” “surpassed” any statue that had ever existed before.
This recent drama in Florida prompted a response from the mayor of Florence, Italy, who argued that mistaking art for pornography is “ridiculous.” In a tweet, Mayor Dario Nardella offered to formally recognize the ousted Florida principal and invited her to come to Florence, writing in part, “Art is civilization, and whoever teaches it deserves respect.”
