The company that oversees advertising on the city’s public transport has suggested placing stickers at the point in question
An undeniably classic sculpture, the “David” by Michael Angelo, is now becoming the most controversial work of art. After Florida State’s Tallahassee Classical School principal Hope Carrasquilla was fired when parents of students protested that she showed a photo of the play in class, a subway restaurant poster was censored in Glasgow, Scotland.
Global, the company that oversees advertising on the city’s public transport, rejected the original design and family business DRG footed the bill for a new poster featuring ‘David’ from the waist up.

DRG Group began conceptualizing the latest ad for Italian restaurant Barolo in early January. In previous ads, the Mona Lisa ate spaghetti and God – as depicted in The Creation of Adam, a fresco created by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512 – offered a slice of pizza.
“We did see the news from Florida and it honestly never crossed our minds that we could have a similar situation in GlasgowNadine Carmichael, head of sales and marketing at DRG, said to Artnet News.

The original poster featured ‘David’ munching on a slice of pizza, framed by a beige-grey ribbon, while the text read ‘It doesn’t get more Italian’.
Global initially suggested placing stickers on the disputed spot. Unfortunately, once printed, the stickers turned out to be too small. Eventually, DRG and Global settled on a new poster design, in which “David” was “pruned” below the waist.
