From the Boston Globe:
Italy will return to Libya an ancient Roman statue taken from its former North African colony, a gesture Rome hopes will help its own campaign to retrieve allegedly looted antiquities from museums worldwide.
The statue is of the goddess Venus, found by Italian troops near the ruins of the Roman settlement Cyrene in 1913.
