Italy bans commercial use of images of Michelangelo's David
A court in Italy's Florence has banned the commercial use of images of Michelangelo's 16th-century statue of David without official authorization from the Galleria dellâAccademia. The gallery took legal recourse after a tour company used David's image for marketing its tours at high prices. It remains unclear whether the ruling applies to David-themed souvenirs and postcards sold across Florence.
