Culture Minister Dario
Franceschini on Friday gave back to Germany a statue of Mary
Magdalene by Renaissance great Andrea della Robbia which had
been mistakenly taken from a German Jewish family after it was
found in Herman Goering's collection.
In the presence of German Culture Undersecretary Monika
Gruetters, Franceschini stressed the importance of returning a
work that had ended up in Italy "by mistake" and had
"unwittingly" stayed there for so long.
