The Last Etruscan

You hear about these men who steal from excavations or sell things to dealers. They are the [real] tombaroli. They are professional [thieves] and unscrupulous. It wasn’t like that with my father. (Michele)

What they do to the archaeology, to the artifacts, is absolutely horrific. They have no respect for history. Of course they are going to tell you that they collect, they admire, they are careful when they go into the tomb, et cetera. All I can say is, they are good liars. There is no distinction [between collezionisti and tombaroli]. A tombarolo is properly associated with archaeology [but,] practically speaking, a looter is a looter. (Dr. Rita Paris, director of the Museo Nazionale Romano di Palazzo Massimo)
