The John Paul Getty Museum in
Los Angeles said Friday it would appal against an Italian court
order to surrender one of the prides of its collection, the
Gettyy Bronze aka Victorious Youth aka, from its believed
creator, the Lysippus.
The museum said it would appeal to the supreme court of
Cassation against the order from a court in Pesaro.
Getty spokesman Ron Hartwig said "we will continue to defend
our rights".
The 3rd-century BC bronze was fished out of the Adriatic near
Fano in 1964 and sold to the Getty in 1977.
