Francesco Rutelli, a former Italian culture minister is trying to stop Bonhams auction house in London. He is trying to stop the sell of archaeological artifacts which he thinks are from Italy. He also mentioned that he had given Italian guide the information of the possibly no law origin of the unidentified objects which are to be offered at Bonhams on Wednesday as part of an antiquities auction of nearly 400 pieces.
He also mentioned to the Italian parliament, demanding that the government act. A spokesman of Bonhams said the auction house had not been approached “officially, unofficially or legally” regarding Mr. Rutelli’s assertions but would withdraw the objects immediately if proper documentation was presented.
