Famous Milan Bull Mosaic Covered After Controversial Restoration

MILAN, ITALY - JUNE 01: People look at the covered mosaic of a bull in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele on June 01, 2026 in Milan, Italy. The famous mosaic of a bull located in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele has been covered following controversy over its restoration. The "torino" ("little bull") mosaic required repair after years of wear and tear due to the local superstition which dictates that visitors to Milan must heel-spin on the bull's testicles three times for good luck. However, there has been backlash online over the reportedly more muted colors used to restore the animal's genitalia. (Photo by Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images)
