ROME, June 10 — Italian police said today they have retrieved a Banksy work commemorating the victims of the November 2015 Paris terror attacks that was stolen from the Bataclan concert hall.

The work was an image of a girl in mourning, painted on one of the emergency doors of the famed Parisian venue, where 90 people were killed. It had been cut out and taken in 2019.
