Hopes for finding the lost Caravaggio just went up in flames – literally.

The fate of a Caravaggio masterpiece, stolen in 1969, has been divulged by a newly-turned informant. Unfortunately, the news isn’t good: the painting was destroyed by the mafia in the ’80s.
Why destroy art worth £20 million? The rats and pigs, of course. The piece was hidden in a farm, where it was apparently ruined by the local color. The only thing left to do was to burn the piece.
Think life doesn’t get this filmic? Read for yourself.
