Vincenzo Peruggia, the man who stole The Mona Lisa, was arrested on December 13, 1913, a day after he turned the painting over to art dealer Alfredo Geri and the Director of the Uffizi Gallery Giovanni Poggi. He was sent to Murate Prison where he remained without bail until his trial on June 4-5, 1914. Peruggia was given a sentence of one year and 15 days but his lawyers immediately appealed. The appeal hearing was held a month later on July 29. At the hearing, Peruggia's sentence was reduced to 7 months and he was immediately released.
