Villa Le Fontanelle: Home to Celebrities

Present owner of this magnificient Villa is  Russian millionaire Arkady Novikov who bought it in 2008 for a price of 33 million Euros. 
It was previously owned by Gianni Versace from 1977 until his murder in 1997. Before his death, celebrities such as Sir Elton John, Sting and Madonna were guests in the building.
Since the death of Versace, only American singer Jennifer Lopez and her husband Chris Judd spent their honeymoon there. It is not open to the public but can be viewed from the lake.
The Villa itself "Le Fontanelle" was originally built in 1776 and owned prior to Versace by the Cambiaghi family.
