Contents of Gianni Versace’s Lake Como Home Villa Fontanelle go to Auction

Sotheby’s are to auction off the contents of the late Gianni Versace’s Villa Le Fontanelle this month. The lake Como villa was Versace’s favorite place and was sold last year to a Russian buyer for $52 million. The auction will take place on the 18th March, with viewings 12, 13, 15-17th at Sotheby’s New Bond Street Galleries, where they have re-created some of the rooms in the house.

The collection is expected to fetch more than $3 million and includes 550 lots, many of which reflect Gianni Versace’s appreciation of the male form. This is a small selection of pieces.
