A 17th-century lamp has been
stolen from the basilica Santi Carlo e Ambrogio in downtown
Rome, investigative sources said on Tuesday.
The theft, which occurred on February 14, was first reported
by newspaper Leggo.
Carabinieri police from the station of San Lorenzo in Lucina
are investigating the case, which was reported to authorities on
February 20.
The one-meter-high lamp was located behind the altar.
The alarm system inside the church was not on due to
maintenance work at the basilica, the sources said.
