Police said that the crime took place overnight on March 22nd to 23rd.
They said robbers forced open the entry door, were in and out of the museum within three minutes, and then hopped a fence with the loot.
The Carabinieri also said they believed the theft was the work of an organized gang.
The three stolen paintings were taken from the Magnani Roca Foundation.
They are Auguste Renoir's Fish, Still Life with Cherries by Paul Cézanne, and Odalisque on the Terrace by Henri Matisse.
This latest European museum robbery occurred months after the major theft at the Louvre in Paris last October, in which thieves stole some $100 million of jewelry.
