Italy - Florence - Michelangelo genital shorts and tourists

Michelangelo's David's genitalia appear on tourist aprons souvenirs on sale in Piazza Michelangiolo above the city of Florence. Reproduced on trinket clothing, the penis is positioned at the front. It is said that the genitals were created smaller to imply that David was not allowing himself to make decisions with pleasure in mind. "David" is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by the Italian artist Michelangelo. It is a 5.17 metre (17 feet) marble statue of a standing male nude. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence but soon came to symbolise the defence of civil liberties in the Florentine Republic, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the Medici family.
