"The three stolen paintings are: 'Fish' by Auguste Renoir; 'Still Life with Cherries' by Paul Cezanne; and 'Odalisque on the Terrace' by Henri Matisse."
"Local media reported that the thieves were able to nab the paintings in less than three minutes and escape across the museum gardens."
"The museum believes a structured and organised gang was responsible for the theft, which was interrupted by the alarm, local media reported."
"The crime in Parma comes after a series of high-profile heists at major European museums, including a major incident in October where thieves stole jewels and other items worth 88 million euro from the Louvre in Paris."
Three paintings by Renoir, Cezanne, and Matisse were stolen from the Magnani Rocca Foundation near Parma, Italy. The theft occurred on March 22-23, with thieves forcing open the entrance door. The stolen artworks include 'Fish' by Renoir, 'Still Life with Cherries' by Cezanne, and 'Odalisque on the Terrace' by Matisse. Local media reported that the heist took less than three minutes. The museum suspects an organized gang was involved, and the theft follows other high-profile art crimes in Europe.
