The exhibition is the result of a complex process of investigation and research, carried out as part of the protocol agreement between the MANN and the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Naples.<\/p>\n
It reveals the dynamics underpinning the illicit trade in cultural objects and the irreversible damage suffered by heritage.<\/p>\n
The exhibition includes five sections. It starts with a focus on collecting, a historical practice which has often fueled illegal excavations and trafficking, resulting in the dispersal of countless archaeological contexts.<\/p>\n
The next section explores the main routes of trafficking, the mechanisms of illicit exportation and the strategies adopted to counter its spread. It continues with an in-depth analysis of judicial and investigative cases that have had great media coverage.<\/p>\n
The last section focuses on the phenomenon of forgeries, with a final consideration of the irreparable loss of stolen and never recovered masterpieces.<\/p>\n
On display an extraordinarily heterogeneous selection of about 600 artefacts, from the Archaic Age to the Middle Ages, from Southern Italy and beyond: pottery, bronze objects, figurative terracottas, marble decorations, underwater finds and Greek, Roman and
\nmedieval coins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
