Following the recent return of antiquities from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek to Italy, the spotlight will be on other European collections that contain archaeological material that appears to have been derived from Italy. Among the museums are:
- Amsterdam, Allard Pierson Museum. Some 15 disputed objects linked to Ellie Borowski, Palladion Antike Kunst, and Robin Symes.
- Berlin, Altes Museum. Tomb group containing Apulian pottery.
- Leiden, Rijksmuseum van Oudheden. Cavalry armour derived from a Swiss dealer.
- Madrid, Museo Arqueologico Nacional. 22 objects identified from the Medici Dossier and the Becchina archive.
The Italian authorities will no doubt be negotiating with each of these institutions to secure the return of this material.
