Content: Minutes in which Domenico Cardillo, Gerlando Alletto and Giovanni Gentile declare that they have found 5 whole vases, decorated with red figures on a black background, digging in the bottom of Cardillo in April 1842. They admit to having carried out unauthorized excavations with the intent to find objects. The vases are still in their possession because they have to cover the expenses for the travel and transport of the vases to Naples, in order to be able to offer them to the King and receive a reward.
