Description

Five priceless masterpieces by Renaissance genius Antonello da Messina vanished from Sicily’s MuMe museum in a brazen nighttime heist, just as locals celebrated the Assumption holiday—three panels from his San Gregorio Polyptych and a double-sided Pietà, valued at 70–80 million euros, stolen while security systems failed. Experts warn these iconic works, now part of global art history, are nearly impossible to sell illicitly. Museum officials mourn the loss not just of art, but of cultural identity, as investigators race to recover them amid rising international attention on the artist following Italy’s recent $15 million acquisition of his work.
