When you survey the 500 or so objets d'art taken from the Lake Como villa of the late Gianni Versace - which will go under the hammer at Sotheby's in London on Wednesday - you realise he was a man of taste. Appalling taste.

When, in 1997, a deranged gunman shot him dead, aged 50, on the steps of his Miami mansion, he was the head of a style empire that was worth £576 million.
