Who owns the painting?

Apparently.... Italy.

From the story: “Once it arrives back in Italy, we will conduct further investigations to establish who really owns the work,” Italian prosecutors said in a statement.

All right. I feel compelled to save them months and months of research and legal wrangling.

I own it, it is mine.

It was given to me years ago by Sophia Loren, in a burst of affection and gratitude, after a long month's vacation together in Tuscany.

(Where a decent villa is a b---- to find, I might add!)
