Hassan Rouhani visited the Capitoline Museums with premier Matteo Renzi, having signed contracts worth up to €17 billion ($18.4 billion) on Monday.

And Renzi was clearly keen to avoid offending his new business partner. The nude statues and sculptures in the museum were completely covered by large white boxes, as can be seen in the video below.

The decision to cover up nudity was seen as a mark of respect for the traditions of the Muslim country, which has only just had its trade sanctions lifted.

Maybe the Italian could teach him how to lighten up a bit.

They changed the signs on vineyards and bars and deported all prosciutto in order to avoid decapitation by their new Muslim overlords.

It's a business trip, your company would do the same thing if they knew some big client coming in would be offended at "X"

Now, if Iran was demanding the statues be taken down or destroyed that would be different.

It would be funny if they just put burkkas on the female statue heads and left the rest nude....
