The Cleveland Museum of Art has agreed to return a total of 14 “looted” items to Italy, among them an Attic rhyton, or drinking vessel, in the shape of a donkey head, above, which dates from 475BC. Italy has persuaded other US museums such as the Metropolitan in New York to return dozens of artistic treasures that were “exported illegally”, according to Sandro Bondi, the Culture Minister.
