A 20-year-old Italian violin student has set up a Facebook page
to appeal for the safe return of her stolen instrument.
The violin, a 1989 Guadagnini-model Claude Lebet valued at €15,000,
was snatched at Florence's Santa Maria Novella station on Monday 17
December.
The Catania-born owner, Gemma Raneri, graduated from the
conservatoire in Florence and is currently studying at a music
academy in Imola. She is due to see police on Wednesday to go
through CCTV footage of the station in an attempt to identify the
thief.
