After the Allies landed in 1943, the Germans looted northern Italy as though it were an occupied territory. The most defiant response to this looting that Mussolini (by then only the head of the remains of the Fascist Party in the north) could bring himself to make was a demand for a list of the stolen art's whereabouts.
