Guido Reni's Judith and Holofernes |
Earlier this month, the Carabinieri's del Reparto Operativo Tutela Patrimonio Culturale di Roma (TPC, Division for the Protection of Cultural Heritage) recovered 37 paintings that had been stolen from a private residence in 1971. The artworks hadn't left Rome's Parioli neighborhood from where they had been stolen. Apparently, a couple had purchased 37 of the paintings twenty years ago in a private sale. When the husband died, the 50-year-old widow placed four of the paintings in an auction sales catalogue. In a routine operation, a Carabinieri officer had matched those images to the TPC's stolen art database which contains more than 3 million stolen artworks. Eleven paintings stolen in 1971 were found in the woman's home in Rome and another 26 works in another home located outside the city.
