The Cleveland Museum of Art has agreed to return to the Italian government a work that dates to the 13th century. A manuscript leaf, once reportedly part of a choral book near the city of Siena, has been in the museum’s collection since 1952, obtained in good faith from a collection in New York. It’s described on the CMA website as “Christ in Majesty with Saints” and illustrates the letter “A.”

Working with the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Italy, CMA officials "determined that the work should be transferred.” Gerhard Lutz, the museum's Robert P. Bergman Curator of Medieval Art, told Ideastream Public Media new research indicated that the piece was actually stolen from the cathedral of Colle Val d'Elsa on January 19, 1932. Its whereabouts after that time are difficult to trace.
