«The Munich Glyptotek’s request for the return of the Discobolus Lancellotti is as absurd as it is inadmissible. It was tied up and illicitly exported as a result of an unholy pact between the Nazis and the Fascists. Thank you to the Americans for giving us back.” Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano reiterated this on X.
«In Italy we are at such a level of political controversy that on social media there is someone who, in order to attack Government Minister Meloni, is on Hitler’s side. We have reached this point: they are pro-Hitler to attack a center-right government.” Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said this on the first day of the ongoing Il Riformista in Naples, in reference to the Discobolus Lancellotti case. statue of the discus thrower Lancellotti, explained the minister, “was in my opinion acquired fraudulently by Hitler, who paid, but the family was forced to give in. Then it ended up in Germany and fortunately the Americans brought it back to Italy in 1948, along with other products. Now an obscure Bavarian museum director, whom I don’t know, demands the return of the Lancellotti disc launcher. I said it would have to go over my body.”
