Italy recovers stolen Della Robbia relief and medieval predella

A Madonna and Child relief by Luca and Andrea della Robbia, stolen from a Scansano church in 1971, was traced to a collector in Canada. A predella attributed to Manfredino da Pistoia, stolen in Varazze in 1988, was recovered in London. Both returned to Italy and were presented on 17 April. The photograph, published by Eccoci Toscana, shows the relief.
