Illegal digs find a medieval c

Illegal digs have found a buried medieval church in Naples, sources said Friday.
    The church, from the 11th century, is an extremely rare example, in fact, there are very few similar examples in Italy.
    The man who discovered the place of worship and who was secretly carrying out the activities was an entrepreneur who was also identified by the Carabinieri Unit for the Protection of Cultural Heritage (art cops) of Naples and the Cultural Heritage pool of the Naples Prosecutor's Office.
    Police seized stolen artifacts from the businessman-cum-tomb raider who was carrying out the digs.
