À propos de cet audio

 When Hitler’s armies occupied Italy in 1943, they also seized control of mankind’s greatest cultural treasures. As they had done throughout Europe, the Nazis could now plunder the masterpieces of the Renaissance, the treasures of the Vatican, and the antiquities of the Roman Empire. On the eve of the Allied invasion, General Dwight Eisenhower empowered a new kind of soldier to protect these historic riches. In May 1944 two unlikely American heroes—artist Deane Keller and scholar Fred Hartt—embarked from Naples on the treasure hunt of a lifetime, tracking billions of dollars of missing art, including works by Michelangelo, Donatello, Titian, Caravaggio, and Botticelli.©2013 Robert M.

Such a compelling book! I knew it was going to be good (I’ve long followed stories of art pillaging, protection and restoration from WWII and the work of the Monuments Men), so I saved to listen to… and it was GRAND! I didn’t want it to end. Incredibly thorough, and all tightly intertwined with day by day war history in Italy. If you are a fan of art, and/or have enjoyed the art in Florence, Rome, Naples or Milan, you’ll probably enjoy this book. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic
