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.

Actually – he is dead, and I don’t think you get to take it with you.
Hence the auction.
