Thomas Virzi (1881-1974) was an assistant to the renowned Dr. Jacob Hirsch and sold a portion of his collection of Sicilian and Southern Italian bronzes with that firm in 1907. Additional coins were sold privately after his death, as well as in Leu 6 (8 May 1973) and Malloy XVII (1 December 1980). The only complete record of his important collection is a series of plates illustrating 2238 pieces.
