A picture taken on February 16, 2017 shows a restored bust, one of the two funeral reliefs from Palmyra at the Higher Institute of Conservation and Restoration (ISCR – Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione ed il Restauro), in Rome. The busts of a man and a woman, dated from the 2nd and 3rd century AD and destroyed by the Islamic State group (IS), have been entrusted to the care of the technical and restorers of the ISCR in Rome. By the end of this month, they will be returned to their place of origin. Alberto PIZZOLI / AFP
