“It was an incredible amount,” said Andrea Guido, an Italian employee of the city of Lecce who found a check for 49 million euros on the street. The owner of the valuable loss was found, and as it turned out later, the money was to be invested in a local hotel.
Local media in the southern Italian region of Puglia reported on the unusual discovery. According to the journalists' findings, the check that Andrea Guido found was lying on the sidewalk next to the entrance of the courier company. An employee who was in charge of the city government's environmental department noticed a piece of paper on the ground and picked it up.
