‘Lost Leonardo’ Painting, Recently Sold for “Several Hundred Million Euros” Seized

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 .
