The theft of thirteen sculptures from the seat of the Fondazione Nino Rollo in Lecce was discovered and
|
reported to the police. They are unique and historic works, never placed on the market, that have been

catalogued and photographed for our archives and can be recognized in several catalogues, publications

We are circulating pictures of them, inviting anyone who has information with regard to them to pass it
