Recounts the history from mid-19th-century acquisition to late-20th-century rediscovery of the famous Campana art collection and the scandal spawned by the criminal offenses of its founder, Giovanni Pietro Campana. Director general of the Roman "Monte di Pieta" or "Mount of Compassion," a kind of pawn shop/commercial bank, Campana lent himself bank funds to amass the largest and most diverse art collection in 19th-century Europe.
