‘Priceless’ pieces removed from Rai’s offices by employees and replaced with fakes, police believe
“Disloyal employees” at Italy’s public broadcaster, Rai, have been blamed for the theft of dozens of works of art from its offices thought to date back to the 1970s.
In what the daily newspaper Il Messaggero has described as “the sack of Rai”, the “priceless” artworks were removed from the broadcaster’s headquarters in Rome and units across the country and replaced with fakes. The works included original paintings by Renato Guttuso and etchings by Claude Monet and Amedeo Modigliani.
