DUBAI—Expo Dubai visitors hoping to see the 3-D twin of Michelangelo’s David in all its glory at Italy’s pavilion may be disappointed as only the statue’s head is visible to the public in a display slammed by some Italian media as self-censorship.
The head and neck of the six-meter-tall (20-foot-tall) reproduction of the Renaissance statue are showcased in an octagonal structure at first-floor level while other parts are visible at a lower level reserved for functions and select visitors.
