Italy’s Culture Ministry confirmed on Wednesday that it has banned loans to the Minneapolis Institute of Art because of an ongoing dispute over an ancient statue.
Italy’s Culture Ministry has banned loans of works to the Minneapolis Institute of Art, following a dispute with the U.S. museum over an ancient marble statue believed to have been looted from Italy almost a half-century ago. The dispute began in March 2022 when an Italian court ruled that the Minneapolis museum was irregularly in possession of the Stabiae Doriforo, a Roman-era copy of The Doryphoros of Polykleitos, an ancient Greek sculpture.
Rome claims that the sculpture was looted in the 1970s from an archaeological site at Stabiae, an ancient city close to Pompeii that was also covered by lava and ashes when Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79. A spokesman for Italy’s Culture Ministry confirmed the ban on Wednesday. In February 2022, Italian prosecutors issued an international warrant for the artwork to be impounded and returned.
