Theft at the "Van Gogh" chalet in Ercolano: a poster depicting the image of the famous Dutch painter, displayed outside the premises, was stolen in the last few hours.

The discovery was made this morning by the owner Biagio Sportiello, who manages the chalet on Via IV Novembre together with his cousin.

After the theft of the seedlings donated for the inauguration, this time the billboard with the Van Gogh logo, affixed to the entrance gate, was targeted.

The chalet, which opened just two weeks ago and specializes in fresh fruit juices, yogurt, slushes and smoothies, will continue to operate.

 The bitterness and sarcasm of the owner after the theft

"We've decided to invest here and will continue to work in our city. We firmly believe in it," Biagio said over the phone.

On the Facebook group “Sei di Ercolano se” he wrote: “We remain confident and believe in our wonderful city and in the vast majority of people who are showing us so much affection.

We hope that, after stealing the logo representing Vincent van Gogh, the thieves will take an interest in the art and beauty that surrounds us."
