Italian authorities have recovered three paintings, collectively valued at €9 million (approximately $9.7 million), that were stolen from the Magnani Rocca Museum in March. The artworks, by Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Henri Matisse, were found during searches, according to a police statement.
CCTV footage released by police captured two masked individuals breaking into the museum, located near Parma, on the night of March 22. The theft represented one of the most significant art heists in Italy in recent years.
While police confirmed the recovery of the paintings, further details regarding the investigation and the circumstances of the recovery were not immediately available. The investigation is ongoing.
