The stolen antiquities that were on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Ave., were returned to the Italian government on Tuesday. In a wooden box marked, “FRAGILE” sat the “Marble Head of Athena,” which dates back to about 200 B.C. and was on display at the Met since 1996, after being looted from a temple in central Italy and then trafficked to the U.S. by Giacomo Medici, according to the Manhattan DA’s office. The 21 pieces of artwork from the Met were among 58 pieces, valued at $19 million, that were repatriated at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. Photographed by @mollycranenewman .
