Stolen Etruscan bronze warrior returned to Bologna museum
Carabinieri returned an Etruscan bronze warrior statuette to Bologna’s Museo Civico Archeologico at a ceremony on 19 December 2025. The museum had reported its theft on 30 October 1963. The object was traced in the United States. This report records its return to the Bologna museum, rather than treating the ceremony as the date of the earlier US restitution.
