Many people make the mistake of thinking that dreams cannot come true, but they can. You have to believe, and know that they are more than just imagination.

    A Good Italian Family, and an Update on What I have been Doing Lately
    January 20th 2012

    During his term as an attaché at the Italian Embassy, I met Bartolomeo Cuccia, who has lived in Egypt now for the last 10 years.  We became good friends. Rita, his wonderful wife, lives most of the time in Italy because her daughter Martha has to be in school in Rome, but she comes often to visit her husband here in Egypt. Their eldest daughter Erika married a nice young Egyptian man named Julio, who lives downtown and works for the Italian Consulate.

    A message to all my friends!
    August 15th 2011

    I am sorry that I have not updated my website for the past several weeks. I have had to spend a great deal of my time dealing with false accusations that have been made against me. I am now waiting for the Office of the Attorney General to finish their investigation; after this I will be free to publish the details of these ridiculous allegations.

    A Victory in the Fight Against the Illicit Antiquities Trade
    July 14th 2011

     

    I am so happy to be able to announce that there has just been an important victory in the fight against the buying and selling of stolen antiquities. Recently, the United States Department of Homeland Security has arrested three suspects in New York City – these people were allegedly part of an international organization that smuggled more than $2.5 million worth of artifacts from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, including Egypt, over the last eight years. I am proud that the Supreme Council of Antiquities (now the MSA) was able to play a role in the success of this investigation.
