PATRIZIA FORTINI.Translation:1.- "In this structure, we have verified the effective existence of a bay with two elements, one with a sarcophagus and a circular element that had been represented on a 1900 map that explains the excavations of Giacomo Boni in that period." 2.- "The importance is that we are surely in front of a monument, which having been saved and being in a special context such as the Piazza xx, must have a value in itself.

Former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's Mercedes-Benz will go on auction at Worldwide Auctioneers in Scottsdale, Arizona on January 17. The 1939 Mercedes-Benz 770, is one of only 88 ever produced and was custom-built for Hitler. It was seized by Allied forces after the fall of Berlin in 1945. The car is expected to sell for several million dollars while 10 percent of the earnings will go to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an international Jewish human rights organisation.
Although these works of art look unremarkable at first glance, you might gasp after taking a look at the signature of the artist. The hand that drew these works belonged to none other than Adolf Hitler, the former dictator of Germany and Fuhrer of the Nazi party. Fourteen paintings created by the reviled Hitler will go to the highest bidder later in June in an auction hosted by Nuremberg-based Weidler auctioneers. The 14 paintings date back to around 100 years ago, when Hitler was still pursuing an artistic career, and most are signed by the far-right leader.
