Germany returns painting stolen by Nazis to Florence
Rome, July 19 (EFE).- More than 75 years after being looted by Nazi troops during World War Two, a stolen painting has been returned to its rightful home in Florence.
Vase of Flowers, valued at around 10 million euros, belongs to Pitti Palace and was one of boxes of artworks that were looted by soldiers in 1943.
On Friday it was returned to the place where it had previously hung more than a century, after a long judicial battle between Italy and Germany.
Director of the Uffizi Galleries Eike Schmidt appealed for the return of the 18th Century painting in January.
For 100 years, the canvas was exhibited in the gallery until in 1940 it was taken to the Medici villa in Poggio a Caiano and in 1943, for fear of looting, was hidden in the villa Bossi Pucci with other masterpieces.
