According to a report, Luigi Lo Rosso found the painting in 1962, took it home to Pompeii, and hung it in his living room despite his wife's distaste for it. The painting remained a mystery until Lo Rosso's son Andrea started researching art history and noticed the distinctive signature in the top left corner. The family then sought the advice of a team of experts. The art piece is now valued at 5 million pounds (Rs 55,71,18,527)
