Italy is celebrating the return of 266 antiquities from the United States, including Etruscan vases and ancient Roman coins and mosaics worth tens of millions of euro that were looted and sold to American museums and private collectors.

The returned items include artefacts recently seized in New York from a storage unit belonging to British antiquities dealer Robin Symes, officials said.
