February 10, 2015 by Marion Maneker

If not for the presence of the Carabinieri and its appearance in the Tribune de Geneve, this report of a Leonardo work missing for centuries that traded hands privately for “several hundreds million of Euros” would seem like a plot point from a poorly written thriller:

The financial Pesaro Brigade (East Central) and Carabinieri specialized in the theft of works of art of Ancona (center-east), announced that they had seized a painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, disappeared for centuries, and recently sold for several hundred million euros.

The name of this table has not been revealed, but a prosecutor in charge of the investigation, Manfredi Palumbo, had to give a press conference early Tuesday afternoon in Pesaro, port city in east-central countries .
