意大利西西里岛一家博物馆于周六晚间失窃4幅“价值极高”的文艺复兴时期画作。
据意大利文化部消息，失窃的作品包括圣格雷戈里奥三联画的三块面板，以及一幅双面的《圣母子》画板，所有作品均被归为15世纪画家安东内洛·达·梅西纳的手笔，失窃地点位于墨西拿区域跨学科博物馆。
三联画由多个面板组成，最初至少包含五个部分，曾在1908年地震中受损。佳士得拍卖网站显示，这幅《圣母子》曾于2003年以超过30万美元的价格售出。
意大利文化部长亚历山德罗·朱利对此次失窃事件表示“震惊与遗憾”，并称这些作品“对我们的文化遗产具有非凡价值”。
墨西拿市长称此次失窃是“令人发指的犯罪行为”，并表示自己对此“深感愤怒”，尤其是因为案件发生在该市纪念圣母玛利亚的传统庆祝活动期间。
“我们希望能够锁定肇事者，并让我们的艺术品物归原主，”费德里科·巴西莱在社交媒体帖子中说道，“墨西拿不会任由自己的历史被窃取。”
此次失窃事件发生仅数月前，意大利政府刚刚在纽约一场拍卖会上以近1500万美元的价格购得安东内洛·达·梅西纳的作品《看这个人》。

Four paintings of “extraordinary value” which date back to the Renaissance have been stolen from a museum late Saturday in Sicily, Italy.
Three panels of the San Gregorio Polyptych and a double-sided panel of The Madonna and Child, all attributed to Antonello da Messina dating back to the 15th century, were stolen from the Regional Interdisciplinary Museum of Messina, according to Italy’s Ministry of Culture.
The polyptych, which is a painting divided in various panels, was originally composed of at least five different sections and had been damaged after an earthquake in 1908. The painting of The Madonna and Child is listed in the Christie’s auctioneer website as having sold for more than $300,000 in 2003.

Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli expressed his “dismay and regret” at the theft and said the pieces had “extraordinary value for our cultural heritage.”
The mayor of Messina called the theft a “heinous criminal act,” and said he was “deeply outraged” by the act, in particular because it took place during the city’s traditional celebrations honoring the Virgin Mary.
“We hope that those responsible will be identified and that our artworks will be returned home,” Federico Basile said in a social media post. “Messina will not let its history be stolen.”
The theft comes just months after the Italian state bought a work called “Ecce Homo” by Antonello da Messina at a New York auction for nearly $15 million.
