It was really amazing to read on the webpage MIBAC 23-11-
2006 "Rassagna Stampa" a list of nearly 30 Italian & English
language news articles regarding sad news of the Getty Museums
refusal to return the "ALL" of the stolen Italian artifacts
requested by Minister Rutelli and the MIBAC and the Italian
government, etc.

Personally, I think the former Italian Ministers of Culture and the
Italian government have not done enough legally, to make the
Director of the Getty Museum to comply with the UNESCO laws and the
Italian laws concerning returning of stolen artifacts to Italy.

Min. Rutelli, and the Italian government now needs to act
diplomatically and economically to make Getty
Museum return the stolen artifacts, as well as recover the cost of
legal fee's the Mibac and the Italian Government has had to spend on
the ongoing trial of former curator of Marion True and the Getty
Museum proceeding!

1. Begin a publicity campaign to inform Italian related
organizations here in the USA to bring this issue to the attention
of US. Congress, Italian-Americans and the American people to a make
them aware of the arrogance and refusal of the Getty Museum to
return the stolen artifacts to Italy.

2. For "ALL" Americans traveling to Italy increase the fee's to
entrance archaeological & cultural sites, museums!

3. For all American academic institutions (i.e the American
Academy in Rome) and American Universities from the USA conducting
archaeological & cultural research in Italy, have them pay a 3%
administration or research fee.

4. Inform Italian citizen traveling to the USA to boycott and
not to visit the Getty Museum or related organizations affiliated
with the Getty museum.
