That was my take on this blind that says the following:
It is not so much the art purchases of this disgraced former power broker, but the location of all the purchases. Apparently the vast majority were bought in one country and with each purchase came the use of very young females who were courtesy of the network started by the former leader of the country and enjoyed by everyone who had the money or favors to bestow upon him. Hollywood of course is involved in the debauchery all courtesy of that A+ list mostly movie actor who bought his way into dual citizenship in case anything untoward happens back home in the States.
Podesta fits disgraced former power broker with interests in Art and we know they enjoy Italy. Former Italian prime minister Berlusconi started a media company that owns several TV channels. Clooney has a home in Italy, as do many other celebs, plus one in England. I've no idea if he had dual citizenship though. Also the description of very young females is different to the rumours we've heard about him.
If not Clooney then who?
If not Berlusconi in Italy then who?

Tony had a home in Venice where he hosted a lot of important people for parties. The other part of the story is that he would get perks in the form of young um companions when he bought certain art. We've said here all along at PG that art collecting is often a way to launder money, for example the pimping of children.
ETA there was also the issue of Tony hiding a lot of his purchases from his wife. In the context of the kind of perks he would get with these purchases, it puts another spin on things.
