04 August 2020 The Austrian tourist who last Saturday to take a selfie damaged Antonio Canova's "Paolina Borghese", kept in the Gipsoteca di Possagno (Treviso), will pay for the damages.The Carabinieri traced back to the 50-year-old, through the visit register, which is also mandatory for anti-Covid-19 safety standards. The military initially found the name of the woman who made the reservation on behalf of the group of tourists, later discovering that the injurer was her husband.
Now the file has been sent to the Public Prosecutor's Office of Treviso.
But to nail it the videos of the internal surveillance cameras, which have immortalized all the phases of the damage. The images show the Austrian tourist as he lay down beside the statue, taking photographs. When he got up he slipped damaging the statue. The man had gone away pretending nothing.
