Look Who Owns Antiquity?












Another story on the Prime minister of Italy concealing 30 Phoenician tombs discovered at his private villa. That is a crime in Italian law which states that the citizen who finds archaeological material must report it to the antiquities authority.

Prime Minister Berlusconi was apparently bragging to an escort which was caught on tape titillating Italians in the daily press. What does it say when even the Prime Minister cannot live up to the antiquities laws.
