An art exhibit that looks like two empty beer cans sitting on the ground was accidently dumped by a mechanic who thought the cans were actually garbage.

The campaign group said in a tweet that two activists from Last Generation shared photos of a flooded Tuscan town protesting the goddess' huge shell on the 15th-century art work before being led to a police station. 'The government continues to insist that fields did not burn in January, that water will not be a problem this summer,' said Giordano, one of the protesters, and that floods are accidental events not caused by human choices.' 'And rather than dealing with these real problems, it makes absurd laws' punishing climate activism,' he said. Following a string of climate protests, Italy's parliament passed a bill in January increasing fines for people who damage monuments and cultural sites.

This was after they sprayed orange removable paint over Maurizio Cattelan's L.O.V.E., a sculpture in Milan on a hand with its middle finger raised last year. The law was designed to prevent such demonstrations from happening, giving officials the ability to levy fines ranging from 20,000 euros (£17,000) to 60,000 euros (£50,000).

Four men have been charged with stealing a £4.8 million 18-carat solid gold toilet loo looted in a four-year investigation into Blenheim Palace.

The work, by Maurizio Cattelan, and part of his show WE, a ripe banana taped to a wall at Seoul's Leeum Musuem of Art, was a ripe banana taped to a wall.
