Lawyers Geoffrey Robertson and Amal Alamuddin arrive Monday on a four-day visit to meet government officials, including Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, and advise on Greece's quest to have the Parthenon Marbles returned to Athens. Alamuddin's husband, actor George Clooney, campaigned for the Marbles' return when promoting his film The Monuments Men. (AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris)

Tra il governo greco e il British Museum inglese sono in corso trattative non facili, per decidere sulla richiesta greca di riportare i marmi del Partenone ad Atene.
Il museo inglese sostiene che i marmi sono stati legalmente acquistati nel 1802 dal diplomatico britannico Lord Elgin; per Atene invece le sculture sono state trafugate durante l’occupazione da parte dell’Impero Ottomano.
Una soluzione di compromesso potrebbe essere un “prestito permanente” da parte del museo, in modo da aggirare la legge inglese che vieta di “smantellare” la collezione museale. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham, File)
