		</div><p>Greece&#8217;s culture ministry has rejected a request by Italian luxury brand Gucci to use the ancient Acropolis for a fashion event this summer.</p>
<p>Culture Minister Lydia Koniordou told state television a panel of ministry experts turned down the request, adding she was in &#8220;total agreement&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Acropolis is listed as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations cultural organisation, Unesco.</p>
<p>Ms Koniordou said: &#8220;We have a duty to defend the importance of (the Acropolis) &#8230; a global symbol of democracy and freedom.&#8221;</p>
<p>Requests for commercial use of ancient monuments in Greece are rarely approved.</p>
<p>American singer Jennifer Lopez was granted access to the Acropolis for a 2008 photo shoot.<br />
The site also featured in the 2014 film The Two Faces Of January starring Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst.</p>
