I don't know what did it, since I have contacted the EU cultural Organisation several times and the
Italian Embassy in
London several times and other sources who I cannot remember, but have received a reply from the Museum! So an arrow hit
home!
Now I have to fill out a couple of forms ( in
Italian).
OK, this could be the problem since I have no
Italian and I am not, as they were meant to assume by implication an academic member of staff at the University of Warwick and certainly not a professor.
So give me a couple of days to get over the shock and to learn fluent
Italian and to master form filling and more implication and hey presto.....fingers crossed
Now, all being well, for the first time since its acquisition in 1954 the
Athens New Style section of the Poggio Picenze
hoard IGCH 2056 will be studied and quickly published ....by me!
