New York has returned looted artifacts worth $14million to after investigators seized them - including dozens of relics recovered from billionaire Michael Steinhardt's collection. Among the artifacts returned to Italy was a fresco depicting a child Hercules strangling a snake and three fresco paintings stolen from Paestum, an ancient Greek city in southern Italy, and dating back to the fourth century B.C. The items, which were handed to Italian officials in New York on Wednesday, will be housed in the new Museum of Rescued Art in Rome.
