ROME, ITALY.- Palazzo Incontro presents Stolen Art: The Return, on view through December 19, 2006. The exhibition features around 100 stolen art works recovered by Italy's art police. The exhibition includes works by Tiepolo, Guercino and Luca Giordano as well as Roman and Etruscan artefacts. Amedeo Modigliani's Girl with the Red Stockings was stolen from a private collection in Rome and has never been exhibited before. The exhibition includes two Guercinos, a St John and a St Margaret of Antioch . The exhibition is free.

Enrico Gasbarra, Rome’s provincial governor, said, “This exhibition shows just how precious the work of the Carabinieri Cultural Heritage Protection Unit and the Finance Guard is."

Carabinieri General Ugo Zottin said, “What worries us most at the moment is the constant plundering of churches and religious institutes. They're going after everything - even in deconsecrated churches or other places in which people no longer worship."
