Il tesoro di Morgantina
Argenti del III sec. A.C. dal New York alla Sicilia. Passando per Roma
(Silver from the Third Century AC, from New York to Sicily, passing through Rome.)
After several years of complex negotiations, the Morgantina Treasures, which have been part of the Metropolitan's permanent collection since 1984, finally return to Italy. The cache of 16 elaborately executed silver dishes was discovered during a clandestine excavation, which took place in the 1970s and '80s, uncovering pieces that had remained buried there for more than 2000 years. Archaeologists studying the treasures say they are the most important silver collection to survive from the Hellenistic period. Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Massimo,
