The ransack of Italy is finally becoming big news. The Getty had a reputation for buying
Italian antiquities of "uncertain provenance". It recently returned
some treasures, but has remained
in the market; it also kept the Morgantina
Aphrodite. But, perhaps, not for much longer. Marion True, a
senior curator there, has just
been indicted by the Italian authorities "on criminal charges
involving the acquisition of precious antiquities".
