Italy's Minister of Culture Dario Franceschini commented, 'If the owner wants to return the work, he must.' All activities related to the 'Year of Crossing the Italian-Russian Museum' were immediately suspended.
In addition, the letter received from the director of the Hermitage Museum, Mikhail Pyotrovsky, said, 'By the decision of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, all overseas rental listings must be returned.
