Italy will have 24-hour armed guards put in place following the $10,800 repair of a historic landmark that German tourists spray painted this week, the country’s culture ministry and Florence’s Uffizi Gallery said.
Florence’s Vasari Corridor — a 460-year-old arched riverside passageway connecting the Uffizi Galleries — was spray-painted with a reference to a third-division Munich soccer club on Wednesday, Florence’s mayor’s office told CNN.
