every time i come here, i'm blown away by the food, the history, la dolce vita, and the amazing art you can find here. there are just over 100 known works by the artist caravaggio. this is one that tourists can come and see, and you can understand why he's able to make a name for himself. this one's just so explicit. but what's really cool is that you can also see his masterpieces in everyday spaces all around italy, like in churches, for example. but sadly, making artworks more readily accessible also leaves them vulnerable to theft. and one of the most famous examples in history is the disappearance of a massive caravaggio from a sicilian church. so, this is how the story goes. the year is 1969.
11:49 pm
it's october 17th. we're in sicily. there's a huge rainstorm and the skies are illuminated by lightning and the sounds of thunder. now, whilst all the locals are asleep, thieves are breaking into a church through a side window. they enter the church and they steal one of italy's most famous paintings, caravaggio's nativity. it's rumoured that they cut the painting out of its frame and roll it up into a carpet and steal off into the darkness of the night. now, it was also rumoured that this painting was stolen by one of sicily�*s biggest mafia bosses. the painting was also said to have turned up somewhere in switzerland. but over 50 years later and still nobody knows what has happened to caravaggio's nativity. it's estimated that around $6 billion worth of plundered art is being traded on the global black market every year.

so much so that a special branch of italy's military police or carabinieri is dedicated to tracking down these stolen treasures. over the years, they've retrieved the millions of pieces. and now for the first time, these recovered artifacts are on display in a brand new museum. some of these pieces are amazing. soon, all these relics will be sent back to their original homes across italy whilst the new haul comes in. so how many antiquities do you have in the museum? some of which have been trafficked thousands of miles

nobody knows where the caravaggio is. i mean, do you know where it is? have you got it?! no, no, not here. tracking down the movements of these stolen items isn't easy, but not to be beaten the carabinieri are adopting ever more sophisticated techniques, and a change in the law means they can punish criminals more severely. in this battle against these criminals, do you think you're winning? the carabinieri cultural protection

heritage squad have retrieved more than ir.5 half million stolen artifacts and relics over the past 50 years. i've come to their hq because i've been given special access to the vaults where they keep all the stolen treasures that they've managed to recover. could you take me on the tour? i'd love to see more. it feels a bit like an aladdin's cave in here with lots of strange and wonderful things to look at. and the paintings. rows and rows of them. what's the story behind this piece of artwork? looks incredible.
11:54 pm
so they will just take a little section of the artwork and make money from that. yeah. but there are some success stories. i'm heading an hour north of rome to a town museum. this 2,500 year old pot, is its most famous artifact looted, trafficked, traded and found. it was eventually negotiated back. these artifacts are about more than just their physical beauty. i feel they're about the link that they have with the land
11:55 pm
of their origin and the connection that they have with the people from those areas. and that's where the real history lies. it's good to see it back. and who knows? maybe, just maybe, a certain caravaggio painting will make its way back home, too, one day. right, if you're thinking of heading to rome anytime soon, here's some travel show tips on some things to maybe see or do while you're here. for something festive this december, head to the capuchins church in vier veneto for an atmospheric baroque christmas concert. and don't forget to head down below the church into those famous crypts decorated by the bones of 4,000 capuchin monks. ok, so maybe that part isn't quite so festive.
11:56 pm
for a complete change of pace it's not too late to register for the rome marathon that takes place in march. routes you'll ever do. starting and ending by the colosseum, there's even the option to complete it as a group of four. so you just run or power walk part of the race. now, any guesses on how old rome is? well, let me tell you. next year, the city will celebrate its 2776 birthday. it takes place on the 21st of april, and essentially it's a massive birthday party. the city is filled with parades, shows and games, plus all the museums will be free to enter. consider checking out vino forum. the ten day festival injune will be celebrating
11:57 pm
some of 2,500 different types of wines available. wow. well, that's it from us this week. make sure you look out for us next wee when... ibiza versus type one diabetes. dj parkinson tests out if you can take on the party island whilst managing your blood sugar levels. well, that's it for us for this week. but don't forget, you can watch the longer version with loads more stories on the iplayer. but for now, from me, ade adepitan and all the travel show team here in rome, it's ciao for now.

hello there. it'll be a colder start to monday — temperatures could be as low as 3—4 celsius. a few mist and fog patches too, mainly across northeast england — those will gradually lift. the showers reducing in scotland and northern ireland, plenty of sunshine here. a few showers going into west wales, southwest england, 1—2 may develop across the midlands and other parts of southern england. many parts of the country will be dry in the afternoon with some sunshine, the winds will be lighter. maybe a touch cooler on monday, but still, those temperatures making double figures. heading into tuesday morning, there's a greater risk of frost, particularly in scotland. but given all the moisture after all the rain, we're more likely to have some mist and fog forming more widely as we head into tuesday morning. and some of that fog could linger all day, particularly through parts of the midlands — grey, misty and murky here, keeping it quite cold. mist and fog in many other parts of the country, tending to lift, some sunshine coming through.
