Extract

In the autumn of 1929, through the kindness of Professor Giuseppe Lugli, I was able to study the Castellani vase-fragments in the Villa Giulia at Rome. I had never seen them before, and I was much surprised to find that some of them came from the same vases as fragments in another collection, the Campana collection in the Archaeological Museum at Florence. Surprised, because I had never heard of any connection between Campana and Castellani. I afterwards learned from Dr. Minto that after the fall of Campana the residue of his collection long lay sequestered in the Monte di Pietà at Rome: it was eventually bought by Gamurrini for the museum of Florence; but meanwhile Alessandro Castellani, or some agent of his, must have had access to it.
