Caravaggio, the auction of the century goes empty. For the Casino dell’Aurora no offer from Bill Gates and the Sultan of Brunei

The first call for the auction for the sale of the “Casino dell’Aurora”, the historic home of one of the most influential and wealthiest Italian families, the Ludovisi-Boncompagni, went deserted.

The Casino dell’Aurora, inside the villa Ludovisi, had been put up for sale on the basis of a valuation of 471 million euros, even if the minimum offer that the court would have had to accept would have been 353 million.
