The controversial structure has stood in the centre of the Tuscan capital since 2006 .

It was installed in a square opposite the Uffizi Galleries famous for sublime artworks of the Italian renaissance.

At more than 60 metres tall and visible from miles away, the crane was used less and less as the construction works dragged on.

Over time it became a target of mockery, with an Instagram account set up for the purpose.
