Contini-Bonacossi was introduced to Andreas Hofer (in charge of Göring's collection) by Gottlieb F. Reber who had known Contini-Bonacossi before the war. The association between Reber and Hofer also dated from the prewar years: Reber had been Hofer's employer between 1930 and 1934, when Hofer had accompanied him on trips to England, France, Holland and Italy. During the war (and prior to the Armistice of 1943) Reber became Hofer's principal agent in Italy acting for Göring's art interests. His main contact there was Contini-Bonacossi. Hofer paid Reber ten percent for all purchases from Contini-Bonacossi. (English)
