Local media reports say 17-year-old is suspected of stunt, which was posted on Instagram
A teenager has been reported to police after allegedly sneaking around Florence’s Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore overnight and climbing up to its Cupola del Brunelleschi to take a selfie.
Coverage of the stunt was posted on @dedelate, an Instagram account with more than 227,000 followers. It is believed the person had hidden in the cathedral before it closed. An accomplice filmed the alleged exploit from outside the cathedral, apparently capturing the protagonist fleeing the building.
Luca Bagnoli, the president of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, said a complaint had been made to police.
