Hello William. I don’t think it will be destroyed, but I can’t tell.

Currently, the museum has the artwork and are working with a colleague in Italy to see if they want it returned. My concern is that the artwork has Fascia that were added after Mussolini took control of Italy. Will it be destroyed once returned???

Not sure what city. I had a gentleman from the Italian Embassy come in my store, about 15 years ago, he saw the piece of art(which was on display only, not for sale) in my showcase. He told me it is a painting of the Savoy family coat of arms. It measures 10 1/2 inches high and 8 1/2 inches wide. The soldier told me he cut this piece of art out of the frame with his knife.
The back of the art consists of 3 or 4 pieces of canvas that are sewn together. It appears to be very old. I would like to return it to your museum if they want it.
