One of Christopher Columbus's stolen letters from the 15th century has been returned to Italy, according to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The letter that was repatriated is believed to have been stolen in the 1980s from the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. It was then found decades later in 2020 in the possession of a private collector in the United States.
