Problem:Image caption The missing letter is said to be a rare script written entirely in Michelangelo's hand 
  
 The Vatican says it has received a ransom demand for the return of a stolen letter by Renaissance artist Michelangelo. 
  
 The request for money, made to the cardinal in charge of St Peter's Basilica, was refused, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said. 
  
 The letter was among several that went missing from Vatican archives in 1997. 
  
 Il Messaggero newspaper said a former Vatican employee had demanded a ransom of €100,000 (£72,000) for the letter. 
  
 It said the letter had been written entirely in Michelangelo's hand and signed by him. 
  
 This was rare, as the artist normally dictated letters to assistants, writing only his signature, Il Messaggero reported. Other details of the documents have not been disclosed. 
  
 It is not clear why the Vatican had not previously made public the theft, which was reported for the first time by the newspaper. 
  
 Police are now investigating the case. 
  
 The documents were stolen from the archive of the department that is responsible for the upkeep of St Peter's. 
  
 Michelangelo, who lived from 1475 to 1564, helped design the basilica, which was only completed in 1626. 
  
 He also painted the ceiling and the altar wall of the adjoining Sistine Chapel. ||||| di Franca Giansoldati 
  
 CITTA' DEL VATICANO Il silenzio ha coperto per anni uno strano furto. Tre, quattro, cinque anni o forse più, chissà. Nonostante si tratti di un ammanco clamoroso dai contorni ancora tutti da definire, da capire, da chiarire. Insomma un bel giallo. In Vaticano la storia affiora solo ora e a brandelli, come un relitto spuntato in superficie da chissà quali abissi. Qualcuno, in un periodo ancora da precisare, ha pensato bene di fare sparire dagli archivi della basilica di San Pietro un oggetto singolare, unico, raro. Prezioso, più che per il suo valore commerciale, per la memoria storica della Città del Vaticano e dell'arte mondiale: la lettera olografa di Michelangelo Buonarroti, probabilmente l'unico esemplare conservato al di là del Tevere, che l'architetto e artista toscano scrisse interamente di suo pugno, dall'inizio alla fine. Una vera rarita', considerando che normalmente «Michelagnolo» apponeva la sua firma nervosa su testi che dettava ai suoi collaboratori. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 INDIZI 
  
  
  
 Chi ha messo a segno il colpo non poteva che conoscere molto bene i locali attigui alla basilica in cui sono conservati i documenti dell'edificio, dal 1506 in poi, quando Papa Giulio II creò la Fabbrica per seguire le fasi di cantiere e poi per assicurare la manutenzione del nuovo edificio. Documenti di cantiere, lettere, pergamene, disegni dello stesso Buonarroti e di altri artisti, affreschi, testimonianze di Vasari e di Bramante. Arsenio Lupin sapeva bene come muoversi, dove andare a cercare, come orientarsi. Non è facile. Pochi, infatti, possono avere l'accesso diretto, visto che gli archivi della Fabbrica non sono nemmeno consultabili al pubblico. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 L'ammanco a lungo andare non poteva passare inosservato, non fosse altro perché un bel giorno alla porta del cardinale Angelo Comastri, arciprete della basilica, ha bussato un giovane ex dipendente vaticano che in passato aveva prestato servizio proprio alla Fabbrica di San Pietro. Chiedeva di essere ricevuto. 
  
  
  
 Il cardinale sapeva che quel ragazzo era stato assunto quando ancora lui non c'era, parecchi anni prima, anche se poi se ne era andato per un altro lavoro. Con sua somma sorpresa, viene informato che dagli archivi della Fabbrica manca un pezzo importante, la famosa lettera olografa di Michelangelo. Il giovane però afferma di sapere dove si trova e in che mani è finita, ma di più non aggiunge. Tuttavia precisa che nel caso gli occorre una congrua cifra, più o meno 100 mila euro, per fronteggiare quello che sembra essere una specie di riscatto. Strano. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 SOSPETTI 
  
  
  
 Da quel momento la storia prende a circolare, gravida di interrogativi. Questo furto era conosciuto anche da altri? Perché nessuno aveva mai avvertito il bisogno di parlarne apertamente, magari notando questa assenza ingombrante tra i faldoni conservati e catalogati dell'archivio? Si voleva forse coprire qualcosa di più grosso, di più imbarazzante? Qualcosa che potrebbe avere un nesso con la triste lobby gay che lo stesso Papa Francesco denunciò durante un colloquio con un gruppo di religiosi latinoamericani venuti a trovarlo agli inizi del suo pontificato? Le domande si accavallano in attesa di risposte. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 TRASPARENZA 
  
  
  
 Di sicuro è un mistero non indifferente da risolvere. L’obiettivo è di riportare a casa il documento rubato di Michelangelo. Ci volevano la coerenza di Francesco e la voglia di fare entrare aria pulita in una stanza restata troppo a lungo chiusa, dove ristagnava una atmosfera pesante, per aprire una inchiesta. Insomma, la voglia di arrivare gradualmente a sanare le zone d'ombra che nei decenni precedenti si erano inevitabilmente create in qualche ristretto sottobosco della struttura.

 © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA ||||| VATICAN CITY The Vatican said on Sunday it had received a ransom demand for the return of two rare documents written by Renaissance master Michelangelo that were stolen from its archives nearly 20 years ago. 
  
 The theft of the two documents - one a letter including the signature of the artist who painted the Sistine Chapel, designed part of St. Peter's Basilica and sculpted statues such as David and the Pieta - had not been made public before Sunday. 
  
 Following a report by the Rome newspaper Il Messaggero on Sunday, spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said a cardinal in charge of St. Peter's Basilica had been contacted recently by a person who offered to get the documents back for what Lombardi called "a certain price". 
  
 Il Messaggero said the person, described as a former Vatican employee, had asked for 100,000 euros. 
  
 Lombardi said the cardinal "naturally refused because these are stolen documents". 
  
 The spokesman said a nun who worked in the Vatican archives informed officials back in 1997 that the documents had gone missing. He did not say why the Vatican had not disclosed the theft before. 
  
 While the newspaper spoke of only one letter signed by Michelangelo, who lived from 1475 to 1564, the spokesman said two documents had gone missing. 
  
 He added that Vatican police were now investigating the case together with their Italian counterparts. 
  
 Neither the spokesman nor the newspaper disclosed any details of the documents, which were taken from the archives of the Vatican department that looks after the upkeep of the basilica, known as the Fabbrica di San Pietro. 
  
 They contain numerous documents concerning the history, design and construction of the largest church in Christendom. It took more than 100 years to build and was completed in 1626. 
  
 (Reporting by Philip Pullella; Editing by Tom Heneghan) ||||| The Vatican said Sunday that two priceless documents handwritten by Michelangelo Buonarotti were being held ransom for more than $100,000 — the first time their theft from the Vatican archives in 1997 has ever been disclosed. 
  
 The Rome newspaper Il Messaggero on Sunday reported the ransom demand for one of the documents, believed to be the only existing letter solely handwritten by the artist, sculptor and scientist who painted the ceiling of Sistine Chapel. The letter is considered to be of unmatched historical importance because Michelangelo usually dictated his communications to be written by others, the Vatican said. 
  
 In an interview with Vatican Radio, Father Federico Lombardi, director of the Vatican's press office, not only confirmed the theft of that letter but also disclosed that a second document written by Michelangelo was stolen and was being held for ransom. 
  
 The disappearance of the documents from the archives at the Fabbrica di San Pietro basilica in Vatican City was discovered in 1997 the then-archivist, Sister Teresa Todaro, and was reported to president and the arch-priest of the basilica but was never made public, Lombardi said. 
  
 Lombardi said the person who contacted the Vatican demanded 100,000 Euros for their return, or about $108,000. When Cardinal Angelo Comastri, the basilica's current arch-priest, received he demand, "of course he refused, their being stolen documents," said Lombardi, who said the Vatican Gendarmerie Corps was coordinating with Italian police to secure their safe return.

Solution:
Is life borrowing plots from Dan Brown books? The Vatican yesterday confirmed that a letter from Michelangelo himself was stolen from its archives and a $108,000 ransom is being sought in exchange for it and a second document, NBC News reports. According to Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, the priceless letter, believed to be the only one still around that was written in full by Michelangelo himself instead of dictated to assistants, was taken in 1997 from the archives at the Vatican's Fabbrica di San Pietro basilica by a former Vatican employee. Reuters reports a person recently reached out to the cardinal in charge of St Peter’s Basilica, and a Vatican rep says that cardinal was offered the documents for "a certain price." In an interview with Vatican Radio, a Vatican spokesman confirmed the theft—which had not been public before yesterday—and said a second letter bearing Michelangelo's signature had also been stolen. The spokesman says Vatican security services are working with Italian police on the case. It's not clear why it has taken so long for the theft to emerge, or how long the investigation has been going on for, the BBC notes. (Researchers warn that the weak ankles of Michelangelo's David could lead to its downfall.)
