Getting angry at this is the equivelent of getting angry at a catholic giving a homeless person a sandwich

Its fking bacchus how is this not proper worship?

Italian government always screeches about how cool the roman empire was, how they want to go back to that, make AI videos of their politicians in roman garbs executing left wingers, bht then when a young woman honors the old roman gods in a proper manner. They go "uh... mods? Mods? She is scaring me

Somewhere in Greece right now "don't blame me, I shagged Dionysus"

No one narc, Bacchus wouldn't't

Why even have it then?

Areplica? Was he related to Agrippa?

why is this so hard to understand people the sculpture is actually the god

no that's Bacchus

Is that Italian official named Jupiter?

This is just appropriate and pious Bacchus worship.

This kind of seems like the only appropriate thing to do with this statue.

no, the Goddess of Lemonade was Hindi not Greek.

These statues don’t shine themselves, folks.

...........................................I mean, it's Bacchus

This you?

Safe to assume she's American. God, we're so embarrassing.

I mean... I don't hear Bacchus complain.

She was just making an offering. Stop infringing on this woman’s religious beliefs.

Daily Italian! In Rome, there are many feral cats, and the locals love them. Say: “Tutti i gatti sono belli.” Means: “All Cats Are Beautiful” Local tradition to ‘graffiti’ the acronym to attract cats. Try it in English!

We just want to talk to you, maybe make you Prime Minister.

so they can high-five her, i assume

its what he wouldve wanted guys

She’s not gonna do it with you, Italian officials. Mind your own business, you creeps.

My statement still stands.

It's exactly how Bacchus wants to be prayed to.

"Florence City Hall said the tourist had not been identified yet and suggested that she was 'presumably in a state of inebriation.'”

Bacchus is quoted as saying, “What’s her @?”

Wait’ll Leonard Barkan hears about this.

this was originally from 2024. did they ever locate the woman and did they induct her into the high priestess role for the Bacchanal rituals?

I thought it was 3 groins in a fountain?

It's not even the original fuckin statue this would be like banning people from rubbing the blarney stone

It's what he would have wanted!!

An statue of a sex god on the medieval sex capital? Its been used as intended.

im sorry but why would you even have a statue to the god of drunkenness and fuckin' and not let people get drunk and fuck it?

Sounds like she just understood the assignment tbh

Bacchus is exactly where he wants to be

Humping and grinding Bacchus scout badge successfully achieved.

More wine!

Trying to identify her so they can see if she wants to get a drink later

literally who cares

Isn't this the kind of thing Bacchus would love though?

Sydney Sweeney has gone too far

Italy has really go down hill since letting the Pope live there.

I'm sure there are some Ice Cube lyrics in that title somewhere.

This is an entirely appropriate religious practice for the Cult of Bacchus.

Why are you booing her she's right

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Idiot!

If that isn't what a statue of Bacchus is for...

I mean, it is Bacchus.

I mean, did you see how he was dressed? 

to give her a medal?

Yup

know who? i don't see it

I've only seen this today

It's good to see people worship the old gods in the appropriate manner.

So they can give her the key to the city?

This is her heritage, let her cook

Art.

Bacchus approves.

Pentheus isn’t pleased, but everyone else seems to be fine.

Those Italian official are pearl clutchin dweebs. Its not even the original statue, its a replica, and it is in no way damaged, the fuck does it matter? And thats not even taking into account THIS IS EXACTLY HOW YOU HONOR BACCHUS.

No one gives a shit except acab.

I'm sorry maybe don't put naked sexy statues of the god of revelry in public?!

This. She probs did him a great favor here.

Presumably to give her the Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana

Italian officials apparently have too much time on their hands.

"How dare anyone so dishonor this statue depicting the God Of Booze And Fucking!"

Bacchus that ass up

To… give her a TV show?

Reminder: Heavy artwork needs to be carefully mounted -- in all senses. #structural_engineering

Hey! No other form of prayer is working. Gotta try somethin'.

Bacchus honestly looks like he's enjoying the moment but also kinda disappointed that his buddy isn't there to high-five and form an Eiffel tower.

This is pretty lame of the officials. She didnt vandalize it.

Ya think? “Florence City Hall said the tourist had not been identified yet and suggested that she was ‘presumably in a state of inebriation.’”

Yes. This is a very inappropriate joke to make about the god of parties and wine… I’m sure such a deity would frown on a sex joke…

What's her badge number

She’s clearly practicing her faith. This seems like antibacchian sentiment.

too much Spritz.

fascists dont read

Ordinarily I would criticize the HELL out of anyone showing such a display towards cultural artifacts. But we *are* talking about Bacchus so it somehow feels whole justified in this particular case...

A true maenad. EVOE, EVOE, BACCHUS IS KING !

Literally the most appropriate thing to do with a statue of Bacchus, what’s even the problem

That’s how they get you

I think you misspelled awesome.

😂

Whole Lotta Love is a cover of the Ancient Greek folk song, Whole Lotta Bacchae.

These lion cubs aren't gonna suckle themselves

Great. A bronze drunk is getting more action than I am.

Bacchus approves, tho

Bacchus would have loved a *checks notes* a young woman who was filmed kissing, humping, and grinding against a statue of Bacchus.

Looks like she praised him like she should…

Johnny this was over two years ago, I’ve moved on. You should too

And the problem is...

High chance it’s a British woman or American white woman. Both groups can get especially obnoxious when drunk.

This story is the medicine I needed for…[checks calendar]…another day in America.

And bunga-bunga

Bacchus is the god of this. He’s fine with it.

Bet it was an Aussie.

As an American, I say she is definitely American.

is this not what a statue of Bacchus is for

They want her phone number

Seems fine.

I remember this episode of The Orville

I'm amused that many interpret this story as the Italian officials wanting to prosecute the woman, instead of, as seems more likely, wanting to ask her out.

Bacchus was demanding some worshipping that he could appreciate. I think she should plea spiritual possession.
