| Abstract | The Italian government has embarked on a campaign to regain possession of looted artifacts in an effort to promote a more stable cultural identity. The campaign targeted American museums, in particular those institutions that displayed an active relationship with art dealers all around the world. The Getty museum was pointed out and its former antiquities curator has been served with a criminal indictment.; The decision of the Italian government to pursue a criminal investigation in the realm of stolen art has considerable political overtones. The journey of one renowned statue, the Cult Statue of a Goddess, physically details the responsibilities that both dealer and curator applied to the exchange. The statue, Aphrodite of Morgantina, has become the symbol for museums ' inability to acquire artifacts without falling prey to illegal trafficking. The statue is also the symbol of the Italian government to return to old virtues that made up ancient Roman. |
