ANSA said that Rossi’s widow Federica Cappelletti found the house had been burgled and valuables stolen, including a watch, when she returned to their home in the Tuscan village of Bucine.
Memorabilia linked to Rossi’s career had not been taken, however.
The news agency said forensic police were investigating.
