I don't care much for Italian art but I do know this stuff is priceless and that these brats should be beaten.

These ecoterrorists should have their hands severed and gloed over their eyes, then leave them in the street with a donation cup on a string around their necks.

I saw the original in Florence in 2019. A beautiful representation of the art of that period.

Thankfully, it had protective glass over it.

Someday soon, one if these eco-loons will irreparably damage a priceless piece of art or an important religious icon and folks will kill them for it.

Leave them there.

No food. No water. No toilet. No medical aid. No cell phones. Not a single solitary thing.

Other than a steady stream of public ridicule.

Just cut off their hands and they will leave. Leave the hands there as modern art. I bet they will not do THAT again. Enough with the stupidity. How about WE react and say NO to their idiocy.

I saw it there when I was 12. We were stationed in Italy at the time. I liked Primavera, but loved The Birth of Venus. Botticelli is still one of my favorite artists. I like the faces.

As long as the enviroweenies don’t harm the art, I say leave ‘em there until they’re forced to abandon their nonsense due to thirst, hunger or the need to empty a bladder or bowels.

Botticelli's Birth of Venus is one of my favorite paintings. I have a framed print of it.

Botticelli's Primavera

Had that a few nights ago. Needed salt.

I would disagree. If I traveled 3,000 miles to see a Botticelli, you better be out of the damn way.
I don’t care what your politics says.

Too bad the didn’t have their asses kicked while standing there glued to the glass.
I damn sure would have tried to do so...enough of this crap already...

Everything you eat in Florence needs salt - especially the bread!

Nah. I’d want to see them humiliated and have to disconnect from the painting, tail between their legs, to go pee or whatever. To give up their stupid “noble cause” for one of nature’s urges.

The little idiots have been arrested which is almost as good and while I hope they have to languish in jail for a while, I doubt that will be the case.
