Italy bans loans of works to the Minneapolis Institute of Art in a dispute over an ancient statue
- Italy's Culture Ministry has banned art loans to the Minneapolis Institute of Art due to a dispute over an ancient marble statue believed to be looted from Italy almost 50 years ago.
- The controversy arose from an Italian court ruling in March 2022 that the museum was irregularly possessing the Stabiae Doriforo, a Roman-era copy of an ancient Greek sculpture.
- Rome alleges the sculpture was looted in the 1970s near Pompeii, and Italian prosecutors have issued an international warrant for its return.
