Antonello da Messina paintings stolen in Sicily
Four valuable paintings by the artist Rembrandt de Mésina were stolen from a museum in Messina, Sicily. Among the stolen works are three pieces from a multi-part painting related to Saint Gregory dating back to the fifteenth century. The incident occurred on Saturday evening during the city's celebrations for the Virgin Mary. The theft was executed with precision, surpassing security systems, and endangering some exceptional artworks. This theft comes shortly after the Italian government purchased a painting by Antonello da Messina at a New York auction for approximately 13 million euros. Authorities are now investigating the identity of the thieves and gathering evidence to recover the stolen pieces.
