A burglary occurred during the night between March 22nd and 23rd at the Magnani-Rocca Foundation in Traversetolo, near Parma, where three extraordinarily valuable paintings from the museum's permanent collection were stolen. These are Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "The Fishes," Paul Cézanne's "Still Life with Cherries," and Henri Matisse's "Odalisque on a Terrace." According to initial reports, the thieves broke into the building by forcing open the front door and completed the attack in less than three minutes. The Foundation emphasizes that the attack was far from improvised, but was part of a "structured and organized" operation. The investigation has been entrusted to the Parma Carabinieri, along with the Cultural Heritage Protection Unit. However, the alarm and the rapid intervention of internal security, the Carabinieri, and the security company prevented the perpetrators from completing the theft. According to reports, a fourth painting was stolen but then abandoned inside the building, likely because the thieves, pressured by the activation of the security systems, were forced to flee. The three stolen works represent some of the most valuable pieces in the Foundation's collection. Renoir's "Les Poissons" is one of the artist's very rare works permanently preserved in Italy and belongs to the final phase of his production, marked by a search for a new, luminous and intense classicism. Cézanne's "Still Life with Cherries," painted in 1890, is also considered a particularly significant work, fundamental to understanding the path that paved the way for Post-Impressionism. Also stolen was Matisse's "Odalisque on a Terrace," an aquatint on paper from 1922, part of the famous odalisque cycle, one of the French artist's most iconic works. All three works were part of Luigi Magnani's personal collection and had been housed in the Villa dei Capolavori since the Foundation opened to the public in 1990. The theft therefore affects not only the national artistic heritage, but also the very identity of one of Italy's most important cultural institutions. The Magnani-Rocca Foundation houses one of the most prestigious private collections in the country, with masterpieces ranging from Titian to Dürer, from Rubens to Goya, and even Monet, Morandi, and Burri. For this very reason, the theft takes on a particularly grave significance, both culturally and symbolically.
