Following the guiding question quo vadis? in Italian provenance research, this volume brings together interdisciplinary approaches and outlines current developments in research on the basis of concrete case studies. In addition to focusing on historical contexts of injustice such as colonialism, National Socialism and fascism, the publication provides insights into the rich, heterogeneous archival sources for Italian collection and art market research. The relevance of researching the origins and transfer of art and cultural assets is demonstrated at both the academic and the practical level.

• Fundamental contribution to provenance research in Italy between academia and practice
• Current case studies and unpublished archive materials
• Transnational cooperation and interdisciplinary knowledge exchange between Italy and Germany
