I disagree about this

The name of the upcoming Italian exhibition at the Quirinale should be: Masterpieces of Greek art, found in Italy and saved by American Museums.

because if there were no richt american museums (nor private art collectors) ready to pay one million dollars for a krater illegallly discovered also there will not be tomb robbers. American museum didn't save these masterpieces, only made money with them. Legally discovered manufacts are well preserved by italian museums.
(I apologize for my english, in the hope to be understandable)
