Regular readers of AHN will know that the Italian Police seem to excell in press photographs showing off recovered cultural artifacts.

Their efforts are being celebrated in a new exhibition held in Rome's Castel Sant'Angelo. Il mondo salverà la bellezza? / Will the World Save Beauty? will feature recovered artworks by the likes of Bruegel and Veronese all in an effort to highlight the war against art theft. Furthermore, the exhibition will also contain displays of new prevention and safeguarding systems in use at museums around Italy.*

The show opened on 12th July and will run until 4th November 2021.

* - Seems like the perfect place for art criminals to swat up, don't you think?
