Sangiuliano 'a man without dignity' says Sgarbi

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 2 - Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano is a man without dignity, art critic Vittorio Sgarbi said after quitting as culture undersecretary amid probes into alleged conflicts of interest and an allegedly stolen painting on Friday.
    Sgarbi, 71, accused the minister of heeding anonymous letters about his alleged wrongdoing.
    He further said Sangiuliano had sent the antitrust authority anonymous letters backing allegations of incompatibility between Sgarbi's private earnings from conferences and his public role at the ministry.
    Sgarbi, a TV personality and one of Italy's top art critics and historians as well as a sometimes histrionic polemicist, said he had not spoken to Sangiuliano since October 23 when the minister entrusted to him the case of Bologna's tottering Garisenda medieval tower. (ANSA).
