A car smashes through the door of Palazzo Medici Riccardi, but it's for filming a movie: restoration of statues on Ponte Santa Trinita postponed

The four statues placed on the Santa Trinita Bridge in Florence will be restored starting Sept. 24, 2018, a delay of about a month. The restoration was postponed due to the filming of the movie Six Underground, which otherwise would have coincided with the start of the work.

In recent days the restoration work, which will last six months, had been granted thanks to an agreement between the City of Florence and the"Noi per Firenze" association, which includes residents and merchants of the historic center.
Innovative technologies will be used and theLorenzo de’ Medici Institute will take care of it.

The action film Six Underground, directed by Michael Bay, is all about high-speed chases. One highlight scene shows acar smashing through the door of the Medici Riccardi Palace; the door was built of glass specifically to shoot the scene.
