The Italian Culture Secretary resigns for his alleged involvement in the theft of a Renaissance painting. Vittorio Sgarbi, art critic and polemicist, is charged with the alleged theft.

The Capture of Saint Peter, the painting in question, was stolen from a castle in Buriasco (Piedmont) in 2013 and was lost. The Renaissance fabric, however, reappeared in 2021 in an exhibition, already owned by SGarbi himself. Anyone who knew him could see a small but substantial difference.
