A portrait of a woman, it exhibits Modigliani's signature aesthetic of clear lines, elongated neck and blank almond-shaped eyes.The painting was found by a flea market arts dealer, who prefers to remain anonymous, as it was leaning against a garbage bin at a subway stop in Rome a decade ago.  He took the canvas home - which was in bad shape with water stains on the back, mildew and a hole that appeared to be a mouse bite - and hired a lawyer who in 2006 sent photos of it to a group of Modigliani experts in Paris. It was promptly dismissed as a fake. But a public relations firm in Rome that doubles as the Amedeo Modigliani Institute is claiming a signed portrait of \"Odette\" could be the real deal. It's putting the work on public view next week saying it hopes to start an academic debate on its authenticity.Called \"Mogdigliani, Les Femmes\", the exhibition will include the painting in question - which they are calling \"Odette\" - accompanied by replicas of Modigliani paintings.  The timing of \"Odette's\" appearance is certainly suspect: In November, Modigliani's \"Nu Couche\" (\"Reclining Nude\") fetched $170 million at a Christie's auction in New York, the second highest price ever paid for an artwork at auction. A host of museum exhibits around the globe are planned in the run-up to the 2020 centenary of his death.It comes as the Amedeo Modigliani Institute tries to recover from a credibility scandal involving forgeries and its past president, Christian Parisot, who was arrested in 2012 on charges he knowingly authenticated fake works. Parisot and Luciano Renzi founded the institute a decade ago to house the artist's documentary archive, which had been bequeathed to Parisot by Modigliani's only daughter. The institute wasn't implicated in the scandal, but its reputation suffered by association.Experts cautioned that any purported Modigliani must be greeted with an overdose of skepticism, given the propensity for hoaxes, fakes and forgeries and the financial interests of all involved. Most significantly, \"Odette\" has no provenance, or paper trail of past owners, rendering it virtually unsellable by any reputable gallery and problematic for any serious scholars to consider.A disputed painting potentially created by Amedeo Modigliani around 1918 in Paris will be part of an exhibition in Italy this month, while experts remain divided about it's origins and authenticity.

Lawyer representing owner of painting by Amedeo Modigliani and art historian unwrapping painting2. Unverified signature reading \"Modigliani\"3. Painting named \"Odette\"4. Tilt down from painting to flyer bearing details of owner reading (Italian): \"Look and find, artisan, multi-ethnic art, collector, small-time antique dealer\"5. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Gennaro Arbia, Lawyer representing owner of painting:\"It was exactly 10 years ago, in the month of June 2006. My client, who is a person of modest means, but who has always lived off art, let's call it art on a small scale, he has always been interested in art and antiques in general, but on a very modest level. This person came to me and told me: 'I found, together with a frame for a smaller painting, this canvas, in the neighbourhood.' if you want I will tell you the exact street and place where it was found, anyway, La Rustica, that is on the outskirts of Rome.\"6. Tilt-up of \"Odette\" canvas7. Close of hole in canvas said to be caused by a mouse8. Close of eyes of \"Odette\"9. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Alberto D'Atanasio, Art history teacher:\"I cannot say whether this is a Modigliani. It has the signature of Modigliani, but to say it is authentic, as an art historian - it is missing all the history that brought this painting from Paris to Rome. Let's say that in the origin of the path of this painting there is a long period of time that we know nothing about. What is certain is that two scientific laboratories in Milan and Spoleto said that the frame support and the pigments and the layers on top are from that period – 1917-1918 and it is signed \"Modigliani\". The figure shows us the aesthetic of the Master from Livorno. At this moment science is telling us in its actual state it is not a fake.\"10. Tilt-down on stains and mildew on back of painting11. Part of painting where laboratory removed dirt12. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Gennaro Arbia, Lawyer of owner of painting: \"They answered me anonymously but the email (from experts in Paris written in 2006) was coming from the French Institute (saying): 'Illustrious Lawyer, we are not able to establish the authenticity. The committee that has met in this moment immediately looked at your photos but unfortunately NO - written in bold - elements match the craftsmanship, the painting, the pictorial lines, or the chromatic structure or the choice of support frame. So we do not even have a suspicion that it could be authentic. For this reason, we do not think it can be analysed'.\"13. D'Atanasio showing damage to back of canvas14. Close of patch where painting was cleaned in laboratory to examine dirt15. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Alberto D'Atanasio, Art history teacher: \"Therefore, the scientific results from the laboratory - this aesthetic context - make us think that this work of art A) is not fake and B) aesthetically coincides with the work of the master from Livorno.\"16. Cutaway of printout of results of laboratory testAP TELEVISIONSpoleto - 16 June 201617. Hall of the laboratory of the Cooperative for Cultural Heritage 18. Restorers working on paintings19. Close of paintbrushes20. Various of restorers working on painting21. Luana Casaglia, restorer who examined \"Odette\" painting, speaking to D'Atanasio, UPSOUND (Italian): \"What is very interesting is that it has confirmed all that was already discovered in the non-invasive examination.\"22. Cutaway of two laboratory reports23. Various of restorers working with infrared light on another painting24. Monitor25. People looking at photos of Modigliani, and his companion Jeanne, as they prepare to set up exhibit \"Modigliani, Les Femmes\" 26. Tilt-up of copy of painting by Modigliani for exhibit27. Copy of signature of Modigliani28. Copy of painting of Modigliani29. President of the Amedeo Modigliani Foundation Luciano Renzi on phone 30. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Luciano Renzi, President of the Amedeo Modigliani Foundation:\"And we have for the first time a \"never seen work\" that we will show for the first time in this exhibit. This \"never seen work\" that will surely be talked about is objectively a painting from that period, we hope that it will be attributed to Modigliani. We believe that there will be a scientific committee that after this will start an in-depth study on the history of this find. This painting, which is a woman, will have an important position in the exhibit and during the period of the festival, and will have \"guests of honour\", which will be other paintings of Amedeo Modigliani.\"31.
