The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is considering imposing restrictions on visitor behaviour after the incident, which follows a similar mishap earlier this month
A 300-year-old painting in Florence’s Uffizi Gallery has allegedly been damaged after a visitor tripped while posing for a photo with the artwork.
The Uffizi said the painting, a portrait of Tuscan prince Ferdinando de’ Medici painted by Anton Domenico Gabbiani in 1712, was damaged after a visitor fell backwards while attempting to “make a meme” in front of it.
