Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano arrives at Quirinal presidential palace to be sworn in, Rome, Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022. Italy’s Culture Ministry banned art loans to the Minneapolis Institute of Art, following a long-running dispute with the U.S. museum over the Stabiae Doriforo, a Roman-era marble copy of the ancient-Greece’s Doryphoros of Polykleitos, believed to have been looted from Italy almost a half-century ago. The U.S. museum, which bought the Doryphoros in 1986 for $2.5 million, said it purchased the sculpture from art dealer Elie Borowski, only after Italy’s claim was denied by the German government and the artwork was imported into the United States.
