On a Monday morning in Milan, employees of Italian jewelry house, Damiani, prepare the showroom for VIP guests, when suddenly, men identifying themselves as the Italian Financial Police burst into the room, already holding the caterer hostage. They demand the manager take them to the vault room for their investigation. While everyone else is tied up, the manager opens the inventory vault and the men take everything inside. When they flee, they don't use the front door, instead they scurry into the basement. It's a real life Italian Job with $20 million of jewelry as the mark.
