\n\tSUBJECT: Reclaiming the return of goods, valuables and properties stolen by Napoleon Bonaparte during the French occupation of the Venetian Republic.<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tDuring the invasion and consequent French occupation lead by Napoleon Bonaparte starting in 1796, France illicitly looted, stole and took possession of public property and valuables of the Republic of Venice.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tThese valuables represent the culture, tradition and historical heritage of the Venetian People.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tThe art 11 of the UNESCO Convention approved on 14th November 1970, signed also by France, states: "The export and transfer of ownership of cultural property under compulsion arising directly or indirectly from the occupation of a country by a foreign power shall be regarded as illicit".<\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tThis National Liberation Movement of the Venetian People (MLNV) through its Provisional Government of the Republic of Venice (GVP), legitimated by rules and regulations of international law based on the right of self-determination of the peoples, acting on behalf of the People and as a State, having regard to the above-mentioned Convention,<\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
