tons in Rome by an obscure Italian
that HIS copies of renaissance scuip-
turs had been sold to collectors as
original.
Private owners who thus far have
kept their identities secret, have al
ready demanded restitution from
the Italian dealer who introduced
the fakes into the country, the Times
says.
The fakes were first discovered in
this country, according to the Times
by agents for Miss Helen F'rick, in
their Investigation of a piece OF
sculpture of which they were sus-
picious.
Alceo Dossena, the Italian sculp-
tor whose copies of old masters al
1eEedly have been sold as originals,
disclaimed in Rome any knowledge
of the transactions. blaming his
agents for any misrepresentation
that might have been made.
He said that he evidently had not
only been duped on that score. but
that he also had been tricked out of
some of the money that had been
promised him. He said he only dis
covered that his copies We're being
sold as originals few months ago
when a Venetian antiquary showed
him a. picture of an alleged Dona-
tello masterpiece which he recoE-
nized as a copy he had made. Two
or three of his statues were said to

museum in Berlin where they were
displayed along with originals of the
renaissance period. The agents were
said to have sold his copies for sums
tctaling $2.5oo,O0o.
