Wow, nobody wants to buy this $410 million Roman villa with the only ceiling mural Caravaggio ever painted:
The sale of a Roman villa with the only ceiling mural Caravaggio ever painted has flopped at auction—even with a 20 percent discount.
The villa, built in 1570, was a hunting retreat for the cardinal, who commissioned the Caravaggio mural in 1597. The painting, valued at $360 million, depicts the Roman gods Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto. Historian Alessandro Zuccari, who was hired to appraise the mural, described it as “an extraordinary work.”
Other treasures on the property include a mural of goddess Aurora by Italian Baroque master Guercino, a sculpture by Michelangelo, a spiral staircase designed by architect Carlo Maderno, and a telescope gifted by none other than Galileo.
