(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 11 - Two young French nationals aged 18
and 20 were caught scaling the Madonnina's spire of Milan
Cathedral early on Friday.
The pair climbed back down when they were spotted and turned
themselves in to the police.
Sources said the incident is unrelated to one earlier this week
in which two youths climbed to the top of the Galleria Vittorio
Emanuele II arcade, another of Milan's most famous landmarks,
and sprayed graffiti on an external area that looks out onto
Milan Cathedral.
Apparently French pair just wanted to post the stunt on
Instagram. (ANSA).
