Rome, second auction for Aurora Casino also goes unsuccessful

The auction for the Casino dell’Aurora, the former outbuilding of the Villa Ludovisi where Caravaggio’s only existing mural painting is located, was again deserted. The second auction thus followed the fate of the first, when it started cda base price 353 million 250 thousand euros (estimate of 471 million euros): in fact, the first one had also been deserted. For the second round the price had been at set at 282 million 600 thousand.

The court in Rome will now decide when to announce the third auction, and at what price, which will inevitably have a further drop. “No one has submitted bids: now the judge will make an order by which he will set the date for a new auction with a lowered price,” lawyer Stefano Pantalani, legal counsel for Prince Boncompagni Ludovisi, told ANSA. The lawyer said his client was hoping for the second round, “but at the same time he expected this outcome because of the high price.”
