Hopefully these have been photographed and recorded and their loss can be
registered with bodies like The Art Loss Register.

The theft from the Corinth Museum was perhaps revealing in the way that some
of the objects from that heist reappeared in 'respectable' auction houses
and galleries even though photographs of the items had been widely
circulated.

5. Objects illustrated in the Geneva Polaroids
Thousands of objects are illustrated in the Geneva Polaroids (linked to
Giacomo Medici). It will take years to research this photographic archive
and locate the objects. There is, of course, movement and we are seeing the
results in the return of antiquities from North American museums to the
Italian Government. Other objects have already been identified and I
understand negotiations are on-going.
