Did the Italian Goverment get burned paying $4.2 million
for a fake Micheleangelo wooden model of a cruxifix?

Under Construction

The Italian goverment recenntly state spent $4.2 million, in 2008 to buy a small wooden crucifix attributed to M from the Turin antiques dealer Giancarlo Gallino who bought it from a Floritine family 10 years ago.
