That's a relief ! When I saw this thread title, I thought it was going to be about the OTHER David Syndrome that is happening at the moment in the UK (the day-in day-out media saturation about the two Davids battling for leadership of the conservative party) - which brings on the same "sense of anguish, foaming at the mouth" etc. etc., but, I would guess, in a much larger proportion of people exposed to it than those exposed to the arty David in Florence.

Thanks to the media, we now know that one of the Tory Davids wears briefs and the other boxer shorts. Can't remember which one, but the image of either clad only in either of these is not entirely appetising and has certainly added to the symptoms of UK sufferers of the "Other David Syndrome." Better to have taken a (fig)leaf out of the Italian David's book, maybe.
