Some shout, inveigh against the authors of the gesture, others resume the actions of environmentalists who have smeared the façade of Palazzo Vecchio, in Florence, with orange paint. Among those who participate in the cleaning of the stone cladding there is also the mayor Dario Nardella who climbed on a mobile scaffolding equipped with a water hose and brush with which he personally provides. Nardella, according to reconstructions, was on site for an inspection when the blitz was triggered and would have intervened to block the authors.
