The bronze, which was pulled from the sea in 1964 by Italian fishermen and exported out of Italy illegally, was purchased by the Getty in 1977.
A European court on Thursday upheld Italy’s right to seize a prized Greek statue from the J. Paul Getty Museum in California, ruling that Italy was justified in trying to reclaim an important part of its cultural heritage and rejecting the museum's appeal. The European Court of Human Rights, or
was a chamber judgment. Both sides now have three months to ask that the case be heard by the court’s Grand Chamber for a final decision and Getty said it was considering such recourse. Italian Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano praised Thursday's decision as an “unequivocal ruling” that recognized the rights of the Italian state and its ownership of the statue. “Following today’s ruling … the Italian government will restart contacts with U.S.
ruling noted that the “procedure is still pending.” Sanguiliano doubled down on Italy’s campaign to bring its looted treasures home and noted that recently Italy has ceased cooperation with foreign museums that don’t recognize Italian confiscation orders. Recently, Italy banned any loans to the Minneapolis Institute of Art following a dispute over an ancient marble statue believed to have been looted from Italy almost a half-century ago.
however strongly reaffirmed Italy's right to pursue the protection of its cultural heritage. 'The court further held that owing, in particular, to the Getty Trust’s negligence or bad faith in purchasing the statue despite being aware of the claims of the Italian state and their efforts to recover it, the confiscation order had been proportionate to the aim of ensuring the return of an object that was part of Italy’s cultural heritage,' said the summary of the ruling.
