crime & law art & exhibitions

Italian police have recovered three paintings by French masters Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Henri Matisse. The recovery was announced by officials on Friday.

The artworks were stolen earlier this year from the Magnani Rocca Foundation, a private museum located near the northern city of Parma. The theft occurred during an overnight raid on March 22-23 and was carried out in under three minutes.

The recovered paintings were valued at more than $10 million and €10 million combined. The raid took place after a series of high-profile thefts from other European museums.
