A villa in Rome is going under the auctioneer's hammer after an aristocratic family failed to reach a deal to keep it in a bitter inheritance feud.
The palatial home's expected to fetch as much as $500m, largely because it has one of only known ceilings painted by the Italian painter Carravagio.
Al Jazeera's Barbara Angopa reports.
