The BBC News website has an article by their veteran Rome correspondent David Willey about the Torlonia collection of classical sculpture that has finally resurfaced for public viewing and appreciation for the first time since the beginning of the Second World War.
The collection is clearly a spectacular one of portraits and panels with scenes from Roman life. Some pieces will go on tour internationally as a permanent home is found for the collection, which means some items will visit the British Museum.
The article can be seen at Torlonia marbles: 'The priceless statues I saw covered in dust and dirt'
