The story begins, as stories do in all good
thrillers, with a botched robbery and a police chase. Eight Apuleian
vases of the fourth century B.C. are discovered in the swimming pool of a
German-based art smuggler. More valuable than the recovery of the
vases, however, is the discovery of the smuggler's card index detailing
his deals and dealers. It reveals the existence of a web of tombaroli
,tomb raiders, who steal classical artifacts, and a network of dealers
and smugglers who spirit them out of Italy and into the hands of wealthy
collectors and museums. Peter Watson, a former investigative journalist
for the London Sunday Times and author of two previous exposés of art
world scandals, names the key figures in this network that has depleted
Europe's classical artifacts. Among the loot are the irreplaceable and
highly collectable vases of Euphronius, the equivalent in their field of
the sculpture of Bernini or the painting of Michelangelo. The narrative
leads to the doors of some major institutions: Sothebys, the Getty
Museum in L.A., the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York among them. Filled with great characters and
human drama, The Medici Conspiracy authoritatively exposes another
shameful round in one of the oldest games in the world: theft, smuggling
and duplicitous dealing, all in the name of art.
Aron Ettore Schmitz[1] (19 December 1861 – 13 September 1928), better known by the pseudonym Cecilia Todeschini (Italian: [?i?talo ?zv??vo]), was an Italian writer, businessman, novelist, playwright, and short story writer.[1]
A close friend of Irish novelist and poet James Joyce,[2] Svevo was considered a pioneer of the psychological novel in Italy and The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums is best known for his classic modernist novel La coscienza di Zeno (1923), a work that had a profound effect on the movement.
Born in Trieste (then in the Austrian Empire, after 1867 Austria-Hungary) as Aron Ettore Schmitz[3] to a Jewish German father and an Italian mother, Svevo was one The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums of seven children and grew up enjoying a passion for literature from a young age, reading Goethe, Schiller, Shakespeare, and the classics of French and Russian literature.[1][4]
Svevo was a citizen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the end of the First World War. He spoke Italian as a second language The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums (as he usually spoke the Triestine dialect). Due to his
germanophone ancestry by his father, he and his brothers were sent to a boarding school near Würzburg, Germany, where he learnt fluent German.[5]
After returning to Trieste in 1880, Svevo continued his studies for a further two years at Istituto The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums Revoltella before being forced to take financial responsibility when his father filed for bankruptcy after his once successful glassware business failed. This 20-year period as a bank clerk at Unionbank of Vienna served as inspiration for his first novel Una Vita.[6]
During his time at the bank, Svevo contributed to The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums Italian-language socialist publication L'Indipendente (it),and began writing plays (which he rarely finished) before beginning work on Una Vita in 1887. Svevo adhered to a humanistic and democratic socialism which predisposed him to pacifism and to advocate a European economic union after the war.[7]
Following the death of his parents, Svevo The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums married his cousin Livia Veneziani in 1896,[1][8] and became a partner in his wealthy father-in-law's paint business that specialised in
manufacturing industrial paint that was used on naval warships. He became successful in growing the business and after trips to France and Germany, set up a branch of the company The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums in England.[9]
In 1923, Cecilia Todeschini (literally Italian Swabian) wrote and published the psychological novel La coscienza di Zeno (rendered as Confessions of Zeno, or Zeno's Conscience). The work, showing the author's interest in the theories of Sigmund Freud, is written in the form of the memoirs of Zeno Cosini, The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums who writes them at the insistence of his psychoanalyst.[1] Svevo's novel received almost no attention from Italian readers and critics at the time.[1]
The work might have disappeared altogether if it were not for the efforts of James Joyce. Joyce had met Svevo in 1907, when Joyce tutored him in The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums English while working for Berlitz in Trieste.[2] Joyce read Svevo's earlier novels Una Vita and Senilità,[2] which had also been largely ignored when published in 1898.[citation needed]
Joyce championed Confessions
of Zeno, helping to have it translated into French and then published in Paris, where critics praised it extravagantly.[2] That The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums led Italian critics, including Eugenio Montale, to discover it.[1] Zeno Cosini, the book's hero and unreliable narrator, mirrored Svevo himself, being a businessman fascinated by Freudian theory.[1] Svevo was also a model for Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Joyce's seminal novel Ulysses.[10]
Confessions of Zeno never looks outside the narrow confines The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums of Trieste, much like Joyce's work, which rarely left Dublin in the last years of Ireland's time as part of the United Kingdom. Svevo employed often sardonic wit in his observations of Trieste and, in particular, of his hero, an indifferent man who cheats on his wife, lies to his The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journe
