The premises were linked to a Japanese art-dealer and a Swiss businessman. Neither is named.

David, the not-named collector is Noryioshi Horiuchi; the carabinieri said today they have found his archives and "this open a new front, that lokks at Orient". The other material are not from Italy, the Swiss Police have blocked them, but I don't know how long. Among the italian objects, only the ones for wich was an evidence of looting, are came back; I think they was 1.500 in total. For the first time, the carabinieri decided to show the antiquities in the arena of Colosseo, Coliseum, and upon the undesecretary (viceminister) Giro, the stories are starting again.
