Thieves have stolen four artworks by Renaissance painter Antonello da Messina worth millions of euros from the regional museum in the city of Messina in Sicily, Italian cultural officials have said.
The thieves stole three of the five surviving panels of the San Gregorio Polyptych, dated to 1473, as well as the double-sided panel depicting the Virgin Mary and the dead Christ in Pietà, which was removed from an armored display case, local media reported.
