art-crime.blogspot.it — Article by Lynda Albertson, Chief Executive Officer, ARCA To some individuals, the scandal surrounding the Met's 1972 purchase of the Euphronios krater and similarly shady procurements by some US and European museums seems like old news. For others, like Italy's Soprintendente per I Beni Archaelogici dell'Etruria meridionale , Alfosina Russo Tegliente and the Villa Giulia's scientific experts Daniela Rizzo and Marizio Pelligrini, the watershed accord signed in February 2006 between the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Italian government, which returned this spectacular vase to Italy, was just the tip of a very large iceberg.

art-crime.blogspot.it — by Lynda Albertson, CEO, Association of Research into Crimes against Art ROME - In the last thirteen months several museums in Europe have been hit with dramatic thefts. In February 2012, two men stormed the Archeological Museum of Olympia in the early morning and tied up a female guard. Wielding hammers, the robbers proceeded to smash five reinforced glass display cases, stuffing 68 pottery and bronze artifacts into their bags before making a hasty escape. In a less violent robbery, thieves walked into the Kunsthal in Rotterdam at 3 am on October 16, 2012 and stole seven paintings from the Triton Foundation, a private foundation of the family of the late Willem Cordia.
