__**Current Event:**__ People who love art are getting rare glimpses of Caravaggio's life in an exhibit of centuries-old documents and paintings. It includes at least one piece that was last seen in public 100 years ago. Curators said that one of the documents contain a drawing done by a judge of a sword and dagger taken from Caravaggio. Caravaggio was then arrested for carrying weapons without proof of permit. Another document is a lawsuit by an artist against Caravaggio. __**Source:**__ http://www.wgal.com/news/26825638/detail.html
