After a search ranging from the River Po to the Bay of Naples, the carabinieri found their culprit right at home in Porto d'Ascoli. He was Fabbio Lanciotti, owner of a large winery and one of the defendants in the wine trial.

...four years ago to practice the dying art of hand-forging iron, he whimsically wrote to an American pal: "I can make anything from lamps to chastity belts." The pal promptly responded with an order for a hand-forged chastity belt from an anonymous Texan. Well, why not? Renwick found a design in a public library, forged a replica-and immediately received orders for 40 more...
