A mansion in Milan belonging to the president of Italian fashion house Versace has been put up for sale.
The sale is being handled by Sotheby’s International Realty.
The realtor uses the following description of the property -
The house of Santo Versace encapsulates the mix of glamour and refinement that makes Milan a global capital of fashion. Each one of the 2100 sqm of liveable area, the 442 sqm of private garden, the 300 sqm of rooftop terrace reflect classy design and superior lifestyle. The house is located on Via dei Giardini, the only street with trees in the centre of Milan. The house was designed by architects Carlo De Carli and Antonio Carminati, representatives of the Modern Movement, in 1953-1954. With a floor plan constituted of an octagon overlapping a rectangle, the building is considered one of the finest examples of post-war rationalist residential architecture in the city. The property is on four floors, in addition to a basement. Very discreet from the outside, an architectural masterpiece inside.
An amazing property that belongs to fashion royalty… Shall we get our chequebooks out?

It would be a great museum or private institute, a temple to the man who created it; its a shame that it will go to a private owner, I hope that someone purchases it and makes it something that everyone who is a VERSACE fan, can enjoy. I totally understand why the family wishes to sell it, it has too many sad memories for them. But the mansion could be turned around as an institute, or non-profit, to celebrate the life of the man and the hope of tomorrow.
