On November 22, 2024, in Rome, at the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, the exhibition Greek Myths for Daunian Princes opens to the public, celebrating the return to Italy of 25 archaeological artifacts, an important group of Apulian and Attic red-figure vases, recovered as part of a successful cultural diplomacy operation conducted with the Carabinieri of the Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage and coming from the collections of classical antiquities of the Altes Museum in Berlin. The exhibition project, curated by Luigi La Rocca, Massimo Osanna, and Luana Toniolo, was born within the framework of the Cultural Cooperation Agreement signed on June 13 in Berlin between the Italian and German Ministries of Culture, the Foundation for the Cultural Heritage of Prussia (SPK), and the Berlin Museum. Thanks to the agreement, a precious funerary context of 21 vases of Apulian origin, along with two Attic red-figure vases, a Lucanian red-figure crater, and a fragment of fresco from a villa in Boscoreale, declared of dubious origin, was able to return to Italy. The works will be exhibited at the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia until March 16, 2025, and then set up at the Swabian Castle of Bari, awaiting a permanent location in the upcoming National Archaeological Museum of Foggia.
