Milan's Bull Mosaic Restored

Milan's famous bull mosaic has undergone a major restoration after being worn down by tourists spinning on its 'lucky testicles.' The tradition, believed to bring good fortune, had created a significant hole in the historic artwork's groin area.

Located in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the mosaic has been a target for luck-seekers for decades, leading to repeated structural damage.

Experts utilized traditional techniques to repair the detailed stonework, aiming to preserve the 19th-century masterpiece while discouraging further destructive rituals.

The restoration marks a significant milestone in the city's heritage protection efforts.
