Rome museum covered up nudes to spare Rouhani’s sensibilities

Ahead of Rouhani’s meeting with the Italian prime minister there, nude statues at Rome’s Capitoline Museum were covered.

Photographs from a press conference held by the two men show statues covered by white panels.

According to the Guardian, the statues were covered by Italian officials who were “keen to spare” Rouhani “any possible offense.”
