In a plot to build on historic sites, Ugo DiRinaldi, vice president of the Scungimondo Corporation, worked with boat captain Guzman to secretly began dump historic objects into Vesuvius. Because Italian law prohibited them from building on lands with artifacts, they sought to destroy the artifacts so they could build on the land.
