A major Metropolitan Museum trustee agrees to talk with the Italian government about disputed artifactgs in her collection. “The Met’s director, Philippe de Montebello, said the trustee, Shelby White, had told him last week that she was willing to meet with Italian cultural officials to discuss eight works she owns that the Italians believe were illicitly excavated and removed from the country. ‘She wants to do the right thing and she is eager for this to be behind her’.”
