Italy, Getty Museum at odds over disputed art [audio 4min]

In recent years the Italian government has been trying to secure the return of looted antiquities that were acquired, often illegally, by museums around the world. One of Italy's major targets in the United States was the J. Paul Getty museum in Los Angeles. The two sides have been talking for many months, but now the Italians say those talks have broken down, and the time for negotiation is over. Most of the works in question can be traced to Italian art dealer Giacomo Medici, who was convicted on smuggling and trafficking charges in 2004. The case is complicated by the ongoing trial in Rome of former Getty curator Marion True, on charges that she conspired with dealers trafficking in stolen Italian antiquities.
