According to CNN, the authorities of Venice expelled from the city and fined a tourist from the Czech Republic, who posed half-naked in front of a memorial dedicated to women war heroes.
When a naked tourist from the Czech Republic was photographed at the memorial by two of her companions, they were stumbled upon by a local resident who complained to the police. Law enforcement officers arrested all the participants in the photo shoot.
The woman was fined $513 and expelled from Venice for two days. She was charged with antisocial behavior because she lay on the memorial imitating a dead guerrilla. The 30-year-old Czech citizen herself did not see any problem in her actions and did not understand why she was detained.
The monument was created by the sculptor Augusto Murer in 1961. It is a bronze statue of a reclining woman, whose body is partly in the water, partly on a platform. The monument is located next to the gardens of the Biennale and is dedicated to Italian female partisans who fought against fascism and died during the war.
