At the official dinner in honor of the Head of Georgian Government, Michael Kretschmer thanked Mamuka Bakhtadze for returning to the Dresden Gallery a previously lost 17th century painting by Pietro Francesco Cittadini, which the Prime Minister of Georgia handed to Chancellor Angela Merkel of the Federal Republic of Germany during her visit to Tbilisi a few months ago.
