He took a tile from the floor of a nineteenth-century room in the Royal Palace of Caserta, acquiring a one-of-a-kind piece of Palazzo Vanvitelliano. On March 16, 2023, shortly after 3 p.m., the Royal Palace of Caserta's surveillance cameras, which are strategically placed along the path that crosses the royal apartments, film the scene of the theft. The 42-year-old man from Castel Volturno, Caserta, entered the Royal Palace as a solitary visitor, crossing the entrance door that leads into the Sala delle Battaglie, located in the nineteenth-century wing, and steps on an old tile from the floor. He ponders it, retreats a few paces, squats down, and steals the "souvenir" before concealing it in a yellow envelope and continuing his visit. At the end of the tour, the coordinator of the museum's surveillance service notices the theft and notifies the director, who informs the carabinieri of the Company of Caserta, who conduct the surveys and acquire the images from the video surveillance system. The military of the Arma were able to trace the identikit of the unknown author using the vision of the video. Before the artifact could be sold on the black market, the search for its thief began in earnest. The man has now been tracked down, detained, and subjected to a house search, during which the valuable tile he had cataloged and stored inside a plastic bag was discovered. The man, who has been accused, will now have to answer for the crime of cultural property theft.
