In 2012 the Director of the Girolamini Library in Naples was charged with stealing massive amounts of priceless books over many years from his own library and then selling the books and manuscripts on the rare book market. His crimes eventually included producing and selling a faux Galileo book at an antiquarian book auction. We visited the library which is housed in the ancient Church and Convent of the Girolamini where I photographed the beleaguered new director and young scholars helping to re-catalog their vast collection. Their presence seemed to help move this beautiful place away from its ugly past.
