Renoir, Cézanne and Matisse Works Stolen in Swift Raid at Italian Museum

Overview

• Four masked men broke into the Magnani-Rocca Foundation’s Villa dei Capolavori near Parma early Monday and removed three works in under three minutes.
• The stolen pieces are Renoir’s Les Poissons (1917), Cézanne’s Still Life with Cherries (1885–87), and Matisse’s Odalisque on the Terrace (1922).
• Carabinieri are reviewing CCTV from the museum and nearby sites, and say the thieves forced a door before fleeing through the park.
• The museum said alarms and a rapid response cut the raid short, and suggested the thieves had aimed to take more.
• Local media estimate the loss at about €9 million, underscoring the risk to a leading private collection as museums reassess security after a 2025 Louvre heist.
