The Italian Experience
  
  Giuseppe Panzironi of Panzironi Art Transport S.r.L., in Milan, has prepared a session for the ICEFAT convention in Florence which will look at Cultural Export Procedures and Export Licenses in Italy. Giuseppe really does understand “The Italian Experience” having worked in the art logistics industry for 35 years !    
 
 
 
The regulations for customs clearance of artworks in Italy are rather complicated with each region having its own regulations. In addition to the regional regulations, the Fine Art Ministry has a special section to monitor and approve the movement of artworks between Italy and other EU countries

Either an Export License or an Export Permit, which are valid for 12 months, is required for all works of art which are over 50 years old. It can take up to 40 days for the Permit or License to be issued.

Very important or significant works of art can only be exported temporarily and must have authorization from the Fine Art Italian Ministry (MCBA) also known as the Bella Arte. This authorization takes about 90 days.

Look for a link to Giuseppe’s full presentation in the next issue of ICEFAT News.
