Picture: Philippa Calnan. 'Saint Catherine of Alexandria' by Bernardo Strozzi.
Title to a fine Strozzi seized in 1942 under Mussolini's anti-Jewish laws has been returned to its original owner's American heirs. But the picture itself cannot leave Italy after it was refused an export licence. It has been valued at $700,000. More here.
