  • VENICE, ITALY - 11 MAY 2017: "The Collector with Friend", a bronze sculpture, is seen here in Damien Hirst's exhibition "Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable", here at Punta della Dogana in Venice, Italy, on May 11th 2017.

  • ROME, ITALY - 14 JULY 2022: A statue is seen here by the Baths of Diocletian in the Rome National Museum, which hosts the Museo dell'Arte Salvata - or Museum of Rescued Art - in Rome, Italy, on July 14th 2022.<br />
<br />
The first exhibit of the Museo dell’Arte Salvata, or Museum of Rescued Art, pays tribute to Italy’s crack art theft squad – the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage – for having returned to Italy thousands of art pieces, effectively thwarting “the black market in archeological artifacts,”<br />
<br />
About 100 pieces – Greco-Roman vases and sculptures and even coins dating from the 7th century B.C.E. to the A.D. 3rd century - are on view at museum, which has been installed in a cavernous hall once part of the Baths of Diocletian and now annexed to the National Roman Museum. They had been seized by the Manhattan district attorney’s office from museums, auction houses and private collectors in the United States on suspicion they had been looted. Last December,  200 pieces were turned over to Italian officials last December, a  handover described as the largest single repatriation of relics from America to Italy.<br />
<br />
Rescued art is a broad term, it turns out, showcasing a myriad of ways in which artworks can be salvaged, from recovering artworks from the rubble of earthquakes and other national disasters, fishing for ancient shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, or restoring fragile masterpieces at the hands of Italy’s expert restorers.
