Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Property
Saving the World's Heritage
«The illicit trafficking of works of art and antiquities is not a problem solely for the police and art experts. It affects us all...It is better to educate and forestall than to pursue and prosecute after the event: public information campaigns are needed. Such campaigns might usefully draw on the many instances highlighted in this important, timely chronicle and celebration of the work of the Carabinieri TPC.»

First comprehensive study of Italy's "art police", an organisation devoted to protecting cultural artefacts.
Renowned for their rigorous investigative approach, the dedicated officers of the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Property (Carabinieri TPC) have recovered thousands of objects and built legal cases resulting inhigh profile repatriations of cultural property. Their actions have effectively changed an art market that previously depended upon theft and criminal behaviour. Italy is a nation that greatly values its ancient past alongside its artistic present, and it is this appreciation that has led to the creation of the world's premier police force dedicated to law enforcement in the arts, heritage and archaeology. As the TPC's dedicated officers work to protect every aspect of Italy's rich cultural heritage, their organisation, training, approach, missions and successes offer valuable lessons for all who share the goal of protecting and recovering cultural property.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE ANCIENT MONUMENTS SOCIETY
«The book serves as a valuable guide to the important and often dangerous work that the Carabinieri do to protect the world's cultural heritage. its scope and thoroughness make it a useful reference tool for the academic, and it provides plenty of interesting stories for the more casual reader-as well as important cautionary notes for art buyers and amateur archaeologists. In addition, the book helpfully includes numerous black-and-white photographs to enliven the text.»
H-WAR
«Should be required reading not just for public authorities, but for collectors, curators, archaeologists and art historians concerned by the current ramifications of crimes against art and hoping to implement practical solutions to combat them.»
