A picture taken on April 17, 2012 shows an artwork by French artist Severine Bourguignon which was set on fire during a protest at the Museum of Contemporary Art (CAM) in Casoria on April 17, 2012. An Italian museum today began burning its collection of contemporary artworks in a singular protest against harsh budget cuts that have left many cultural institutions out of pocket. The Casoria Contemporary Art Museum near Naples held a bonfire in its grounds for the first torching of a painting by French artist Severine Bourguignon, who was in favour of the protest and followed it on Skype. He plans to burn three art works a week in an initiative dubbed 'Art War.'
