The image of a girl in mourning was painted by Bansky on one of the emergency doors of the Parisian venue that came under attack in 2015.
Italian and French police found it on Wednesday in the attic of a small farmstead in the Abruzzo region in central Italy, rented by a Chinese family.Christophe Cengig from the Organised Crime Unit at the French embassy in Rome told AFP that an unnamed colleague who had seen victims gunned down in Paris had been at the scene when the work was found.
There was forensic work to be done and the door would need to be transported carefully, “but it’s going back to France”.Works by Banksy, known for their distinctive style, irreverent humour and thought-provoking themes, have been found on walls, buildings and bridges from the West Bank to post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans.
