Trial of Marion True continues
Focus in the trial of Marion True in Rome shifted to Robert Hecht, the antiquities dealer accused of conspiring to traffic in antiquities with Ms. True. Objects dealt with by Mr. Hecht ended up in the collections of museum such as the J. Paul Getty Museum, where Ms. True was a curator, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Many of the items in question have been returned to Rome and are displayed in an exhibition, “Nostoi: Capolavori Ritrovati,” in the Palazzo del Quirinale. Reported in the New York Times on 23 January.
