The bronze statue of Dalida, the legendary singer who lived in Montmartre, Paris, has seen its chest area turn gold due to the touch of tourists. The city of Paris restored it to its original color three weeks ago through repair work, but as tourists continue to touch the chest, the golden hue is starting to reappear. This behavior has sparked controversy beyond cultural heritage management issues, with women's groups and some politicians criticizing it as a sexist and offensive act. On the other hand, Dalida's brother said he doesn't feel any disrespect from these actions. The city of Paris plans to continue maintaining the statue by mobilizing specialists and is also considering ways to minimize contact from tourists.
