"US Repatriates Vast Collection of Stolen Artefacts to Italy"

The United States has returned over 250 ancient artefacts to Italy after it was discovered that they had been stolen and sold to US museums and private collectors in the 1990s. The items, including pots, paintings, and sculptures dating back thousands of years, were found to have been looted and were worth millions of euros. The artefacts originated from various ancient civilizations, such as the Villanovan age, Etruscan civilization, Magna Graecia, and Imperial Rome. Italy has been actively seeking to recover stolen antiques and artefacts, and this recent return follows a similar repatriation of stolen art from New York in September 2022.
