(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 4 - Justice will be done on the three young women climate activists who threw soup on a Van Gogh work in Rome Friday, Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said.
    "I've come here to stigmatize what I see as a very grave act," he said at the Palazzo Bonaparte where the Dutch master's The Sower was targeted by Ultima Generazione.
    "We are a democratic country that disciplines and makes possible all forms of protest.
    "If you want to protest for the environment there are many ways, but you can't damage an important art work (editor's note: the painting was behind glass and thus undamaged).
    "Now justice will take its course. Luckily the work was well protected and I'm overjoyed that it was not seriously damaged.
    "We must work to make sure these things don't happen above all by making young people understand that this is not the way (to protest)". (ANSA).
