Die traditionsreiche Girolamini-Bibliothek in Neapel wird von einem dubiosen Direktor mit Beziehungen zum Kunsthandel geleitet, der den Verlust von über 1500 Bänden beklagen musste. Gegen ihn richtet sich eine Petition:

Update: Jennifer Lowe in EXLIBRIS 20.4.2012:
“There is a flurry of news in the Italian press on this case. From what I
can make out, the Girolamini Library has been seized/closed by the Naples
Public Prosecutor. Marino Massimo De Caro has been suspended and is being
investigated for embezzlement, and Minister Ornaghi has appointed Mauro
Giancaspro in his place. Some footage from surveillance cameras will be
examined to get to the bottom of the rumors of heavily laden vehicles
leaving the building. De Caro protests that the accusations against him
began when he recovered 28 stolen books from “a famous London auction
house” and began making inquiries into who had sold them the books.
Here are two recent articles from Corriere and La Stampa:
