Overview
- A Lega deputy, Simonetta Matone, found a sparkling ring in the women's restroom in the galleria dei Presidenti and, after asking colleagues, handed it to the commessi (parliamentary ushers).
- The commessi contacted the responsabile sicurezza who took custody of the ring and put it in a safe as part of Montecitorio's internal lost‑and‑found procedures.
- Matone described the piece as a white‑gold ring with a square central diamond and two lateral stones and estimated its value at around €30,000, a figure she gave to reporters and not a formal appraisal.
- The rightful owner, identified in reports only as a non‑deputy woman, went to Montecitorio offices, proved ownership to staff, and reclaimed the ring.
- Coverage framed the episode as a routine resolution that highlights how the Chamber's commessi and security handle found valuables and prompted public interest in transparency and institutional procedure.
