The painting had been stolen by Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia, who, as an Italian, said after the fact that he thought the piece should be displayed in Italy. Peruggia was caught trying to sell the painting, though he might have gotten his wish, at least for a while. The "Mona Lisa" was shown all around Italy before being returned to the Louvre. Peruggia was hailed by countrymen for his patriotic crime and served only six months in prison.
