A 500-year-old painting stolen from a Naples' church museum has been discovered in an apartment on the outskirts of the southern Italian city.

Staff at the San Domenico Maggiore museum were not even aware the portrait of Christ, believed to have been painted by Leonardo da Vinci's student Giacomo Alibrandi, was missing.
The painting is a copy of the famous Salvator Mundi, attributed to da Vinci himself, that sold for a record $US450 million ($591 million) in New York in 2017, making it the most expensive work sold at auction.
"The painting was found on Saturday thanks to a brilliant and diligent police operation," Naples prosecutor Giovanni Melillo said.
"There was no complaint on the matter and, in fact, we contacted the [church] prior, who was not aware of its disappearance as the room where the painting is kept has not been open for three months."
The museum collection had been closed because of coronavirus restrictions.
Police said a tip-off led them to the apartment at the weekend and they found the painting tucked away in a cupboard.
