The Florence museum housing Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece the David on Sunday invited parents and students from a Florida charter school to visit after complaints about a lesson featuring the statue forced the principal to resign.
Florence Mayor Dario Nardella also tweeted an invitation for the principal to visit so he can personally honor her. Confusing art with pornography was "ridiculous," Nardella said.pressured Principal Hope Carrasquilla to resign last week after an image of the David was shown to a sixth-grade art class. The school has a policy requiring parents to be notified in advance about "controversial" topics being taught.
Carrasquilla has said two parents complained because they weren’t notified in advance that a nude would be shown, while a third called the iconic statue pornographic. Cecilie Hollberg, director of the Galleria dell’Accademia, where the David resides, expressed astonishment at the controversy. Carrasquilla said in a phone interview Sunday that she is "very honored" by the invitations to Italy and she may accept.
"To think that David could be pornographic means truly not understanding the contents of the Bible, not understanding Western culture and not understanding Renaissance art," Hollberg said in a telephone interview.

A principal is fired, invited to Italy after students are shown Michelangelo's 'David'Michelangelo's 'David' was shown to sixth-grade students at Tallahassee Classical School in Florida, it resulted in a principal's resignation. Italians are praising the educator and inviting them to Florence to be recognized for teaching such art. Florida is not a real place. America is a really horrible place We were in Florence in November. Turning the corner in the Accademia Gallery and seeing David under the dome sent shivers up my spine. It was a life altering experience. I can't imagine depriving anyone of this magnificent work of art.
