Sample Book Insights:
#1 In 1964, the fishing trawler Ferrucio Ferri was trawling the waters off Italy's east coast when it caught a patch of gold-colored metal. The crew decided to sell it and split the profits.
#2 The crew brought the statue ashore on a handcart and took it to the house of Pirani's cousin, who owned the boat. The statue began to smell of rotting fish, and the cousin moved it to a covered garden patio. Several local antique dealers came to look at it, but they wanted more money.
#3 In 1966, the statue was found in a church in Gubbio and hidden by Father Giovanni Nagni. It was seized by the Carabinieri in 1968, but the conviction was overturned in 1968. In 1966, it was sold to a Luxembourg-based art consortium called Artemis.
#4 When the bronze athlete came his way, Getty was a shrunken, decrepit man. He hardly filled out the suit and tie he had worn since his teens. His heavily lidded eyes, framed by jowly cheeks, gave him a perpetual scowl. He kept his thoughts hidden behind a stony exterior.
