  • The Supreme Court ordered the restitution of paintings kept in Barcelona to their original location in Aragon.
  • The decision is based on the fact that MNAC was not the owner of the disputed works, but their depository.
  • The paintings are extremely fragile and their handling and moving can have very damaging consequences.
  • Experts like Gianluigi Colalucci warn that the transfer can have catastrophic consequences for the paintings.
  • The disputed art contributes to Montjuïc's artistic offering, attracting 900,000 annual visitors.
  • Despite the ruling, priority should have been given to the conservation and appropriate projection of the pieces.

Conclusion: Now, all parties must work together to prevent damage to the paintings due to poor problem management.
