After the appeal presented by Italia Nostra, the TAR of Lazio suspended today the loan to the Louvre Museum of Leonardo's Vitruvian Man, preserved in the Galleries of the Academy of Venice.

Taking into account the opening of the Paris exhibition, scheduled for October 24, the administrative court decided to bring forward the discussion in the council chamber, announced for the same day, on October 16th.

In the same provision, the TAR also suspends the memorandum of understanding signed in Paris between the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the Louvre Museum for the exchange of works by Leonardo and Raffaello in the part "in which it violates the principle of the legal system for which the public offices are divided into bodies of direction and control on the one hand, and of implementation and management on the other ".
