A Toe Job: Art restorers wearing white gowns and rubber gloves performed “surgery” Wednesday in Florence, Italy, on Michelangelo’s monumental 487-year-old statue of David, repairing damage caused when a hammer-wielding man attacked it last month. The toe, made up of a combination of fragments and dust of the original marble and plaster, was glued onto the 13 1/2-foot-tall statue before the museum opened for visitors. Two security guards are protecting the statue until a low glass barrier is built.
