In the lower picture there are three rectangular openings in the wall, on the lower-left hand side. It looks as though they are the air conditioning vents mentioned in the Il Messaggero news report. That would be where the fire started.

That's too bad, but it honestly doesn't look that wrecked. A good restorationist could clean most of it up. Plus if artwork was that valuable, it should perhaps be in a more protected environment.
