Half-naked photos at the Uffizi, the sexy influencers: Remove the photos? Unworthy request

After the controversy over the photos of the sexy influencers at the Uffizi, Alex Mucci and Eva Menta, now come the stances of the two stars of Only Fans. The young women have let it be known that they have removed the photos from Instagram, but in “archiving” mode, thus without removing them (this is a mode that allows you to set aside a post to remove it from the view of users, but with the possibility of eventually restoring it at a later time). However, they do not want to apologize and, on the contrary, severely criticized the Uffizi.

Alex Mucci spoke on Radio 24’s provocative program La Zanzara: “For me,” she said, arguing animatedly with the two hosts, Giuseppe Cruciani (who defended her) and David Parenzo (who soundly challenged her instead), “unworthy as a request. Aside from the fact that I would like to understand how a semi-nudity of mine in transparency can mock a work in which the woman is completely nude, point two in my post there is no profit motive because I am not sponsoring any company, I have not tagged anyone and I am not profiting from the content per se, so as far as I know, legislatively speaking, I am a private individual who took a picture on social. It’s not prohibited.” For his part, Mucci does not want to justify himself, he added, “I have not done anything that in my opinion is against the rules. It says in their rules that their images can be released for personal use. And legally I know that images inside museums can be freely disseminated on social channels if it is for the purpose of spreading a thought, or free personal artistic expression. I’m not profiting from the content.”

Mucci also defends the choice to take the photos at the Uffizi (“I’m obviously not going to take the photos at Tor Pignattara,” he said), and concludes, “I would do it again, I’m not ashamed of it. I don’t want to take the photos down, my concern is that Instagram might remove them and that goes to the detriment of my page. I wanted to exalt the female image of today in comparison with that of the past, moreover, completely naked, and in that place is full of pictures of naked men and women.” Cruciani, while siding against the Uffizi, took up Mucci on the fact that, also according to him, these were photos with obvious promotional purposes (“the photos serve, as is evident, to increase in a small part his users on Instagram, and therefore to increase his ability to make money”), an activity that requires a request for authorization to be sent to the Uffizi. For Parenzo, however, it’s all wrong: “She took a picture like that in front of the Botticelli because so now we are doing a program on Radio 24 dedicated to this useless fact, of two hussies who took provocative pictures in a museum. Let them go to work dressed like that where they have to work, but not inside the Uffizi. The activities that the young ladies do can also interest me very much, but not in the Uffizi. But why did she use the image of Botticelli’s Venus for her work? What the fuck is that? But she did it on purpose to draw attention to herself and to grow her page.” Parenzo then concluded, “It is not a question of morality, but of education. ’Sgallettata’ is a woman who flaunts her sexuality in a flamboyant way, so she is a flamboyant, and also a bit rude, because her clothing is not appropriate for that place.”

Eva Menta, on the other hand, chose the same medium at the center of the controversy, namely Instagram (particularly with some stories) to explain her reasons. First writing, “We have decided to archive (momentarily) the post to let the dust settle, at least until the situation returns. This is not an admission of guilt on our part, that we will continue to enforce our gesture as a creative and non-denigrating act. The post is just archived for now.” And then reiterating it verbally in strong tones, promising battle: “I want to make one thing clear and emphasize it, because I see that so many people keep talking and don’t know how things happened: I want to be sure and certain that in your little heads my message got through. The post was not removed, it was archived, I even wrote it, geez. But if you don’t know things at least read them first. This story that has evolved badly, you really broke my balls, I will carry this story along with Alex, so don’t think you are right, don’t think you have won.” Mucci echoed her from her account, “I will republish the post soon, and rest assured I will fight for my reasons.”
