Michelangelo’s David “censored” in Dubai

As reported RepublicIn fact, David seems to be “beheaded”. “Chairman – Observes Republic – It emerges from a hole in the floor at the top floor of the pavilion, inside a circular room covered with mosaics reminiscent of the Byzantine art of Calla Placidia. The body goes down, into this octagonal hole: you can not lean from above to see what is below. The rest of David is unknown to the average viewer.

Schurby is tough: “Italian art is bad, real hatred”

Vittorio Cirque, As usual did not send them to say of course, apparently crushing the decision to “hide” David’s private parts. As it turns out Cirque, in fact, was consulted by the company AdnKronos, “This is a Filipino theme, not a pagan theme. So, the destruction of a part of Michelangelo’s David in the Italian pavilion of the Dubai Expo really pays homage to religion and their culture“Grotesque and ridiculous., Sgarbi adds.”This is the real issue of commenting. Spicolatris de Sabri is definitely not a woman and a part of Italian sculpture, it has nudity, there is canoe, there is poticelli, nothing to say.“Italy, the famous art critic continues,”David respects Michelangelo’s Islamic tradition in Dubai: unprecedented, unacceptable, unbearable humiliation. Insulted Italian government and degraded Italian art. A real crap“.

Do you remember the 2016 International Stupidity for Closed Statues of Capitol Museums in 2016? Well, again, in a way that does not offend Muslims – the Iranian delegation in Italy – beauty is censored in its highest sense, even a timeless masterpiece like Michelangelo’s David is a symbol of the Renaissance and perhaps the most beautiful art ever made by man. So, again, he bows his head before Islam and its most vague doctrines. A decision to censor David would inevitably provoke debate: is it right to leave one’s art and identity like this? The art director of the pavilion intervenes in the matter, David Rampello, The company consulted Lapress: “When we installed the statue of David in the pavilion, the Arabs came and interviewed me. They immediately raised the topic of nudity, but when you see a masterpiece, I explained to them that nudity has nothing to do with it. You are not looking at nudity, you are looking at a masterpiece. They said nothing. This is unnecessary care that has nothing to do with work“There is no censorship, as Rampello Al always explains Courier della sera: “David is not seen because it always goes from the bottom up, but welcomes the audience face to face. Usually no one can see him in the eye. There is no government audit. ”
