Italians have reacted with shock after a US principal was sacked for showing students a picture of Michelangelo's classic sculpture David after parents complained it was "pornography".
Hope Carrasquilla became principal at Tallahassee Classical School in Florida only a few months ago but was fired after three parents complained about the content of an art lesson.
She would teach students a lesson on Renaissance art which includes "David" and "Creation of Adam" fresco painting, and "Birth of Venus", all which feature nude figures.
