Syria retrieve 2 stolen archaeological pieces from Italy

Syrian officials attend the revealing ceremony of two returned archaeological pieces at the National Museum in Damascus, capital of Syria, on April 29, 2019. Two archaeological pieces were returned to Syria from Italy on Monday to be showcased at the National Museum in Damascus. The two pieces, which are small gates of ancient tombs that date back to the 5th century, had disappeared from Syria since 1960 until Radwan Khawatmi, a Syrian expatriate in Italy, found them in an auction.
