I was harassed at Chiesa di Santa Maria della Vittoria on 08/07/2021. (I had to change to wording of my post so that Google would find it appropriate even though what happened then was not) I don’t know the status of the person at the Church, whether he is a priest or just an employee, but his conduct was completely unacceptable. I came to see Bernini’s “The Ecstasy of Teresa”, but was unaware that it was covered for restoration. As I was walking around, looking at the rest of the art in the church, a man who had been in front of the altar speaking with other people came over to me and confirmed that the Bernini was under restoration, but then he continued to began to describe the merits of the other artworks to me. Since I only came to the church to see the art I was glad to receive the information. He gestured to follow him from art work to artwork. Then I followed him behind the altar to an area that had a painting and two wall murals. This is when he began to gesture that I stand in specific places to see the artwork and then he would stand as close to me as possible with his body touching mine. He would then begin to describe aspects of the artwork while the back of his hand, his knuckles, would graze the front of my jeans. When he moved to another artwork he would place his hand on my shoulder or the flat of my back to move me with him. I have never met this man in my life and it is safe to say that this behavior is beyond inappropriate. At first I thought perhaps this is just an extreme form of Italian friendliness, but as he continued describing different artworks he would trail off and his details would become muddled or incorrect as if he was focusing on something else entirely. I wanted to leave but didn’t know how. Finally I was able to mention another exhibition I need to get to and he walked me back to the front without saying anything. I do not take any of these details lightly. But I was deeply disturbed throughout my visit there and after leaving. I am not from Italy and so the best I feel I can do is speak up and make this publicly known. Again I don’t know who this man was or his affiliation with the church, just that he is affiliated in some official capacity because he had keys to the doors inside the church.
