意大利归还中国的文物正在展出

●Chinese Cultural Relics Returned from Italy on Display       The exhibition， titled “The Journey Back Home” showcases more than 700 pieces of returned Chinese artifacts， including a painted pottery pot from the Western Han Dynasty， a colored camel pottery figurine from the Tang Dynasty and a white-glazed bowl from the Song Dynasty.

This was the largest return of lost Chinese cultural relics in nearly 20 years. The artifacts were found by accident. Most of the artifacts were found to have been unearthed in China and made their way to Italy without legal exit permits. In accordance with relevant international conventions， China requested Italy to return the artifacts. Italys Milan City Court confirmed the Chinese governments ownership of the cultural artifacts in 2014 and made the final decision to return the 796 artifacts to China in November 2018.

這次名为“归来”的展览展出了归还中国的700多件文物，其中包括西汉时期的彩陶壶、唐代的彩色骆驼陶俑和宋代的白釉碗。

这是近20年来最大规模的中国文物返还。这些文物是偶然被发现的。大部分文物都是在中国出土的，在没有合法出境许可的情况下被运往意大利。根据有关国际公约，中国要求意大利归还文物。意大利米兰市法院于2014年确认了中国政府对文物的所有权，并于2018年11月最终决定将796件文物归还中国。
