René Benko: Inventory of Villa Ansaldi goes under the hammer

Benko had only rented another property, Villa Ansaldi, which served as Siena's Italian representative office on Lake Garda. The luxury property became known to a wider public when René Benko celebrated his 40th birthday there with numerous celebrity guests.

Now the inventory of the 12-hectare estate, which boasts its own helipad, is going under the hammer. The proceeds will be included in the insolvency proceedings as part of the estate, meaning they will benefit the creditors of Signa Holding.
