Anti-Mafia police in Naples have recovered two Van Gogh paintings stolen from Amsterdam in 2002.
The Van Gogh Museum said the paintings, found without their frames, are in relatively good condition, though they did show "some damage".
The two artworks are 1882's "Seascape at Scheveningen" and a later work, "Congregation leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen".

Police in Naples said the paintings, which they described as "priceless", were discovered during a raid as part of a crackdown against a Naples-based Camorra crime clan suspected of cocaine trafficking.
Naples prosecutors said more details will be given later at a news conference in the southern Italian city.
The paintings were seized along with other property, worth "tens of millions of euros". The Financial Guard, a branch of the Italian police, often sequesters the financial assets of suspected criminals.

Van Gogh Museum director Alex Rueger thanked the Italian police, saying: "After all these years, you no longer dare count on a possible return."
It is unclear when the paintings will return to Amsterdam.
