Having grown up in Florence, Italy, Anna Bottinelli developed an appreciation for art and its cultural significance early in life. Then, what started out as a research assistantship with Robert M. Edsel on his bestselling book Saving Italy flourished into an illustrious career dedicated to recovering and returning lost and/or stolen cultural objects from WWII. In this episode, Anna joins Enrique and Kristi to share her professional journey, the story of the Monuments Men, the Monuments Men and Women Foundation's current goals and methodologies, what it was like hanging out on set with George Clooney, and other stories from over a decade of restitution.Additional Links & Resources:Learn more about Logistics with Purpose: https://supplychainnow.com/program/logistics-with-purposeLearn more about Vector Global Logistics: https://vectorgl.com/Subscribe to Logistics with Purpose: https://logistics-with-purpose.captivate.fm/listenBook: "The Monuments men", Robert M.
