Nude models in Italy put on clothes to protest


Nude models in Italian art and colleges went on strike January 18, to protest low salaries and poor job security, by putting their clothes back on.

"Our work is not recognized," life model Antonella Migliorini told La Stampa newspaper. "We pose for eight hours a day and still the colleges treat us like teaching tools. We do a difficult job, with a great tradition resting on our shoulders which requires both imagination and great physical concentration."
