Italian Museum Heist Snatches Renoir, Cézanne and Matisse in Minutes
TL;DR Summary
Thieves breached the Magnani-Rocca Foundation outside Parma, Italy, in about three minutes, stealing three paintings—Renoir’s Les Poissons, Cézanne’s Still Life With Cherries, and Matisse’s Odalisque on the Terrace—worth roughly $10 million; a fourth work was abandoned after the security system interrupted the theft, and investigators say the heist appears to have been well planned as part of a structured operation.
