ART CRIME: Mona Lisa
from True Crime: 365 Days Hosted by ABSX Network
On 21 August 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in Paris by Vincenzo Peruggia, a former contractor who had worked inside the museum itself, and the painting remained hidden for over two years before its recovery in Florence in December 1913. Peruggia was convicted, but whether he acted alone, what his true motive was, and whether an alleged commission by an Argentine con man was ever real remain unresolved questions more than a century later. Anyone with information about unresolved accomplice claims or archival material connected to the 1911 Louvre investigation is asked to contact the Carabinieri TPC (Tutela Patrimonio Culturale) at +39 06 6920 3333.
