Built in the 19th century by Lord Charles Currie, this yellow painted mansion on the shores of Lake Como was owned by Giovanni Versace until he was murdered in 1997. The villa received many celebrity guests in its day, but now awaits a new, wealthy owner.
Villa Fontanelle is a villa near Moltrasio on Lake Como in Lombardy, Italy, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Milan. The four-storey yellow-painted building was built in the first half of the nineteenth century by the eccentric Lord Charles Currie, a visiting Englishman who fell in love with Lake Como. Failing to find a villa for sale, he decided to create his own, right on the water's edge. It was subsequently owned by Antonio Besana, a friend of the composer Giuseppe Verdi.
