The town's in an uproar over an exhibit at Palazzo Vecchio by American sculptor Greg Wyatt. His organic "Two Rivers" bronzes have gotten caught up in a pissing match between two city leaders: the mayor and a leftist councilmember.
Councilman Da Empoli decided that Wyatt's work was less than worthy to grace Piazza della Signoria, which has the miniature of the David and Neptune's Fountain. "It's something you would sell on E-Bay," Da Empoli said. Of course, the rest of the council came to Wyatt's defense.
Now, everyone has an opinion.
With this beauty--Bacchus, otherwise known as Cosimo I's court dwarf--on display at Boboli Gardens, the debate seems kind of silly.
