A bust of the legendary Italian
actress Anna Magnani was removed from its niche in a central
Rome street on Friday night.
The portrait sculpture of the Rome icon made famous by her
interpretation of the character Pina in Roberto Rossellini's
neorealist classic Roma Città Aperta was torn from its stand in
Via della Pelliccia in the Trastevere district.
Local police officers intervened and subsequently found the bust
not far away. Investigations are underway to identify the
perpetrators using video surveillance images.
