Renoir Nude Recovered

Pierre-Auguste Renoir - NudeItalian police have finally recovered a Renoir Nude stolen 33 years ago! Too late for the owner, who is now dead, but his daughter identified the painting as her family's property by the mark of a ball with which she had hit it in the 1970s. After 33 years the thieves or their fence made the mistake of contacting art critic Vittorio Sgarbi for an appraisal. He informed the police. Three people have been arrested.
