On visits to Italy, I have had many opportunities to indulge my passion for fine art. Masterworks like the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Michelangelo’s marble David, and the Birth of Venus never fail to take my breath away, the same effect they’ve had on art lovers for 500 years.
This time, however, something struck me that I hadn’t considered before. The three pieces I mentioned (alongside thousands of other classical treasures) contain full nudity, but I certainly wouldn’t object to children going to the museums that house them.
