 | | Francesco Rutelli, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Culture of Italy, will discuss “Italian Culture: Our Pride and Responsibility” on Wednesday, November 29, 6 p.m., at New York University’s Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, 24 W. 12th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues). |
 | | Rutelli, the former Mayor of Rome and president of the centrist liberal party “Margherita,” recently expressed his dismay that the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles would return only 26 of the 52 ancient artifacts in its collection that Italy says were illegally excavated from its soil. |
 | | Marion True, the former curator of antiquities at the Getty, is now on trial in Rome on charges of conspiring to deal in looted antiquities. |
