It was just after sunrise on a June morning. “Nicolo,” whose real name cannot be    41    to the public because of Italy’s privacy laws,    42    working the whole night at a factory in Turin. As he often did, he stopped by the “after work auction(ÅÄÂô)”    43    by the Italian police where things    44    on the trains were sold to the highest bidder. There, among many other things, Nicolo spotted two paintings he thought would look    45   above his dining room table. Nicolo and another bidder    46    until Nicolo finally won the paintings for $32.

When Nicolo retired and went to live in Sicily, he    47    the paintings with him. He hung them above the same table he had    48    from Turin. His son, age 15, who had    49    an art appreciation class, thought that there was something    50    about the one with a young girl sitting on a garden chair. It was signed(Ç©Ãû) “Bonnato” or so he thought, but when he    51    it, he only found “Bonnard,” a French    52    he had never heard of. He bought a book and was    53    to find a picture of the artist Pierre Bonnard sitting on the same chair in the same    54    as his father’s painting.

“That’s the garden in our picture,”Nicolo’s son told his father. They    55    learned that the painting they    56   was called “The Girl with Two Chairs.” They    57    the other painting and learned that it was    58    Paul Gauguin’s “Still Life of Fruit on a Table with a Small Dog.” The    59    called the Italian Culture Ministry; the official confirmed that the paintings were    60    and worth as much as $50 million.277
