PALERMO, Italy, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- A 16th century statue of St. Augustine stolen in 1982 from a Catholic church was found in Sicily, Italian officials said.

The statue was taken in 1982 from the the San Francesco Saverio di Mondovi sanctuary near Cuneo in the Piedmont region. The statue has been returned to the church.
