Michaelangelo's 'David' is mutilated to save Italy's cltural icons

Shock tactics to save Italian art

Shock tactics are being used in Italy to scare Italians into helping to save their cultural heritage.

Organisers of a campaign hope an image of Michelangelo's David with a leg missing will scare Italians into forking out to save artworks at risk.

TV adverts and posters will feature the staged destruction of its most famous works with the slogan: "Without your help, Italy could lose something".

A third of Italy's cultural sites are deemed to be in a state of emergency.
