奇葩：博物館名畫被盜，23年後發現就藏在館裏
A painting found stashed inside a wall at an Italian museum has been confirmed as the stolen "Portrait of a Lady" by Austria's Gustav Klimt, prosecutors said on Friday, two decades after the artwork.went missing.
週五有檢察官說，一幅畫被發現藏在意大利一博物館牆裏，經證實是被盜的奧地利的古斯塔夫·克林姆特所畫的《一個女人的肖像》，這幅藝術品失蹤20年了。
The century-old painting was discovered concealed in an external wall by gardeners at the Ricci Oddi Gallery of Modern Art in Piacenza, northeast Italy, last month.
上個月這幅百年老畫被園丁發現藏在意大利東北部皮亞琴察的裏奇·奧迪現代藝術館外牆裏。
The museum estimates that the 55-by-65-centimetre (21-by-26-inch) expressionist work could be worth between 60 and 100 million euros (US$67-111 million), but notes the difficulty in estimating the work as it has never been sold on the market.
該博物館說這幅55*65釐米（21*26英寸）的表現主義作品的估價可能在6000萬至1億歐元（6700萬至1.11億美元）之間，但很難確定，因爲這幅畫從未在市場上出售過。
"It is with no small emotion that I can tell you the work is authentic," prosecutor Ornella Chicca told reporters.
檢察官Ornella Chicca告訴記者：“我可以毫不誇張地告訴你，這幅作品是真跡。”
Museum officials had initially said they could not immediately determine whether the painting was indeed the stolen Klimt until scientific tests were undertaken.
博物館的工作人員最開始說他們不能立刻確定這幅畫是否就是被偷的克林姆特的畫，需要先進行科學檢測。
Painted in 1916-1917, the expressionist work depicts the face and torso of a young woman with brown hair, over an emerald green background.
這幅表現主義作品的創作時間是1916年至1917年，刻畫的是一個棕發年輕女孩的臉和身體，背景是翠綠色的。
The painting went missing in February 1997 while the museum was closed for work.
1997年2月份博物館因工作原因關閉，這幅畫就失蹤了。
In December, gardeners removing ivy from a wall found a small ventilation space and discovered the painting inside, without a frame and wrapped in a black garbage bag.
12月份園丁在修剪牆上的常春藤時發現了一個小的通風口，在裏面找到了這幅畫，沒有框，包在黑色垃圾袋裏。
The ivy covering the space had not been cut back for almost a decade.
常春藤蓋住了通風口，差不多有十年沒修剪了。
Chicca said further tests would determine whether the painting had been lingering inside the wall space since it was stolen, or whether it had been hidden there at a later date.
Chicca說通過進一步檢測能確定這幅畫被偷以後，是不是一直放在通風口裏，還是後來被藏進去的。
