Surveillance footage from a museum in Italy shows a tourist sitting on a 200-year-old statue and breaking three of its toes off
have identified a 50-year-old Austrian man who broke three toes off a statue at a museum as he posed for a photo with the artwork.
The man, whose name has not yet been released, was caught on a surveillance camera jumping up onto the statue's base to get a picture when the maneuver inadvertently snapped its toes. In doing so, he broke three toes off the statue's right foot and"there could be further damage to the base of the sculpture that the museum experts still have to ascertain," according to investigators.Vittorio Sgarbi, the president of the Antonio Canova Foundation, wrote in a Facebook post that he has asked police for"clarity and rigor." He wrote that the man must not"remain unpunished and return to his homeland. The scarring of a Canova is unacceptable.
When police contacted a woman who signed in on behalf of herself and her husband, she burst into tears and admitted her husband was the toe breaker, according to a press release from Treviso Carabinieri.
