Environmental activists from the Ultima Generazione (Last Generation) group have once again attracted the attention of the authorities and the international media, this time covering the exterior wall of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence with paint.

Several eyewitness tourists denounced the activists. Also present was the mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, who reportedly yelled at the activist, demanding an explanation and trying to stop him. Looking at the soiled walls of the fortress, the burgomaster sank to his knees in annoyance, folding his hands above his head.
