Villa Fontanelle was built in the 19th century in a neoclassical style by the eccentric Lord Charles Currie. In 1977 it was bought by the Italian designer Gianni Versace that began to restore it to its neoclassical glory. The work, completed in December 1980 included a big ornamental gardens with three cottages, a tennis court, and an approximately 800-meter lakefront façade. After the Gianni Varsace death the property was sold and now the estate is owned by Russian millionaire restaurateur Arkady Novikov, who bought it for 33 million euros.
