<p>[QUOTE="Scipio, post: 4592481, member: 103869"]Just my 2 cents, as an Italian collector. Italy has more antiquities and archeological sites than the whole rest of the world. You could dig almost everywhere and fInd artifacts, coins and remains of buildings centuries and millennia old. There is a special branch of police dedicated only to the cultural heritage law enforcement. So the poor stewardship argument is likely to be reviewed after adequate information. Italian laws on antiquities are very strict; every unearthed ancoent artifact belongs to the State, and if you own one, it’s up to you to give evidence of its legal provenience, otherwise it is seized. In case of export, the Italian State can ask to reimport the items also if they were legally sold abroad. Anyways there is no restrictions to export of ancient items legally owned by individuals or businesses, except for items of particular significance. The agreement with the US Government, as far as I know, includes only specific kind of items (for example cast coins).
