The story of a principal who was fired after showing students a photo of the statue of David appears to have a happy ending.

Hope Carrasquilla, who was forced to resign when she showed the naked statue to sixth graders, was invited to Florence by the director of the Galleria dell’Accademia to see the famous sculpture in person, NPR reports.

“David was magnificent in person,” Carrasquilla told NPR. “All students should study the Renaissance, not only the art but the history as well.”

During her visit to Italy, she also received an award from the city of Florence. In a tweet, Mayor Dario Nardella said, “Well we promised to invite you to #Firenze and today you will be in Palazzo Vecchio to tell us that art has absolutely nothing to do with pornography.”

“Art is civilization and whoever teaches it deserves respect,” he said in another tweet.

Carrasquilla, who was the principal at the Tallahassee Classical School, was forced to resign in March after three parents complained that she showed “pornographic” material to students during a lesson on Renaissance art. There was supposed to be a letter of consent sent to parents, but due to “miscommunication,” it did not happen. She was given the choice to resign or be terminated.

The story went viral — even making Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” skit — and the school’s board chair stood his ground.

“Parental rights trump everything else,” Barney Bishop told the Huffington Post. “They didn’t like the woke indoctrination that was going on. We don’t use pronouns. We don’t teach CRT and we don’t ever mention 1619 — those are not appropriate subjects for our kids.”

David is viewed by more than 1 million visitors each year; according to The Independent, tourists flocked to the museum after Carrasquilla’s firing to take selfies with the sculpture. It is one of the most well-recognized pieces of art in the world. Standing at 17 feet tall, the marble nude sculpture depicts the biblical hero before taking on the giant, Goliath. Michelangelo completed the work in 1504 and was on display next to the Florence Cathedral until 1873, when it was moved to its current home at the Galleria dell’Accademia.
