SAFE say YES to Italy
Press Release from SAFE:
On September 8 the U.S. Cultural Property Advisory Committee (CPAC) will meet to consider Italy’s request to renew the bilateral agreement that restricts the importation of antiquities into the U.S.
“Say YES to Italy” is the latest campaign launched by SAFE | Saving Antiquities For Everyone (www.savingantiquities.org) in support of this renewal. We ask all those concerned about the devastation of Italy’s cultural heritage by the illicit antiquities trade to visit our website and sign our online appeal:
SAFE will present signatures to CPAC, so sign NOW and tell everyone–colleagues, friends, family, everyone–you know to do the same. SAFE urges all scholars, especially those who work in Italy, to submit written statements to CPAC. Your personal knowledge of looting in Italy and anything you can recount about whether and how the 2001 bilateral US-Italy agreement has helped to mitigate the situation will be critically important. For details, please visit our website.
