“Fortunately, the statue is a copy located in the academy’s hallway leading to a room full of more valuable works of the most famous sculptors of the era”
Sounds like if it wasnt the original it’s not priceless or anything. Just the media once again trying to make a big story out no story to me.
But now we know how drunken satyrs can drink so much - hollow legs.
It was not priceless. It was a reproduction from the 19th century so it was worth a chuck o’ change though.
