Bronze statues discovered in Tuscany with help from village bin man.
A retired garbage man's intuition helped uncover a collection of about two dozen Etruscan and Roman bronze statues from the third century BC to the first century AD in the hilltop village of San Casciano dei Bagni, Tuscany. The statues were found in the ruins of an ancient spa and are believed to be the biggest collection of ancient bronze statues ever found in Italy. The discovery sheds new light on Etruscan and Roman beliefs and will go on display in Rome's Quirinale Palace from June 22, after months of restoration.
