New York returns $19m worth of stolen art to Italy
New York 's District Attorney has returned $19m (£16m) worth of stolen art to Italy.
The 58 pieces include a marble head of The Goddess Athena dated 200 BC, worth an estimated $3m alone.
The stolen artefacts were sold on to museums and private dealers by convicted looters, said Mr Alvin Bragg .

The Head of the DA's antiquities trafficking unit promised there would be " ".
Homeland Security was part of The Investigation to seize and repatriate these objects to The Italians - 21 of these came from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Although the pieces have immense monetary value, an Italian official described them as " priceless".
General Roberto Riccardi said he felt especially happy knowing that these objects would be returning to communities who will know " where we come from, about our history, about our identity".
Investigators had worked for years to track down the art smugglers' trails and locate the items that were being repatriated, according to Homeland Security officials.
Giacomo Medici and Giovanni Franco Becchina are among the convicted robbers who used a network throughout Italy to steal pieces from unguarded sites, according to the DA's office.
It said these objects were eventually imported to the US where they were sold to American billionaire Michael Steinhardt , who is after evidence found that items he owned had been looted and illegally smuggled.
In 2021, Mr Steinhardt surrendered treasures worth $70m as part of a deal which means he will not face criminal charges.
