In the background of this successful operation was a very remarkable man: Rodolfo Siviero. Connected with the Italian and British Secret Services as well as with the Italian Resistance, Siviero traced the movements of works of art during the war through Italy, Austria, and Germany and in 1946 was put in charge of their recovery under the auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As chairman of the „Delegazione per le Restituzioni“ (Delegation for the Restitution), with the diplo- matic title of Minister Plenipotentiary, Siviero dealt with the authorities responsible for the return to their legitimate owners of the works of art gathered by the Allies at the Collecting Point in Munich. He was also in charge of the follow up to the Adenauer-De Gasperi agreement of 1953 on the mutual return of cultural property between the Federal Republic of Germany and Italy. Hundreds of works of art were returned from and by Germany to Italy and Siviero’s reputation in the eyes of Italian public opinion rose to the stars. (English)
