Overview

• Investigators said the seized items include tapestries, drawings and engravings attributed to Salvador Dalí.
• Police said the action stemmed from a report by the Fundación Gala–Salvador Dalí that identified irregularities while the show was in Rome earlier this year.
• The exhibition, titled “Salvador Dalí, Between Art and Myth,” ran in Rome from January to July and opened in Parma on September 27, with organizers saying it will remain open.
