Italian police recover stolen Cézanne, Renoir, Matisse

Italian police have recovered three paintings by French masters Cézanne, Renoir and Matisse that were stolen from the Fondazione Magnani Rocca museum in Mamiano di Traversetolo, near Parma, in March.

New CCTV footage released

On Friday, police released new video of the theft, showing two masked burglars entering through a window, grabbing the three paintings from the wall and then immediately exiting the building in an operation that took less than three minutes.

The recovery of the artworks marks the end of a months-long investigation into the heist, which had drawn international attention.
