This war-damaged early 18th century cen-tury painting of the assumption of the Virgin has been returned by this country to the monastery of Monte Cassino, Italy. It was discovered among the rubble of World War II by a German soldier and still bears the mark of the siege of Monte Cassino. The German took it to Austria, where it was found by the invading Americans. Our state department returned it, via the Italian consul at Munich. |
