Libya and Italy signed an accord under which Italy will pay billions of dollars in compensation and investments for colonial misdeeds during its decades-long rule of the North African country.
In a goodwill gesture, Italy returned an ancient statue of Venus (right) taken to Rome during colonial rule, Libyan state media reported. The “Venus of Cyrene” was taken from the town of Cyrene, an ancient Greek colony, by Italian troops and put on display in Rome.
