Italian police on Friday placed
three people under investigation and seized 21 works in a probe
into allegedly fake Modiglianis put on show in Genoa's Palazzo
Ducale recently. The probe started after a complaint from Tuscan
art collector Carlo Pepi, who raised doubts about the
authenticity and provenance of some of the works on show. Police
appointed their own expert, Mariastella Margozzi, who confirmed
Pepi's views. "We are the injured party", Palazzo Ducale said in
a statement.
