Italy showcases $12 million worth of recovered stolen antiquities.

Italy has displayed 750 antiquities worth $12.79 million that were recovered from a London antiquities dealer. The items, which date from the 8th century B.C. and the medieval period, were illegally excavated from Italy and then exported and sold around the world. The objects were in the possession of a London company in liquidation, Symes Ltd, owned by dealer Robin Symes. The items were returned to Italy on the same day an agreement was signed between Symes and Greece to return other looted items.
