Vandalised Gromit repaired and returned to plinth

A giant Gromit sculpture which was ripped from its plinth and vandalised has been repaired.

The sculpture called Carosello, designed by Italian artist Giuliano Carapia, was outside The Spyglass restaurant in Bristol city centre.

It was the second of 80 figures - part of the Gromit Unleashed, external art trail - to be damaged. The first, by actress Joanna Lumley, is being restored.

The 5ft (1.5m) sculpture was vandalised two weeks ago - the day after it was installed.

It has been returned to its plinth on Welsh Back.
