Villa Gastel, the palatial Lake Como family home of celebrated photographer Guido Taroni. Before the present chatelaine took possession, the Villa had a glittering history of owners including her uncle, the director Luchino Visconti, who hosted the likes of Maria Callas, Helmut Berger and Coco Chanel at his elegant soirées.

Good night iconic Helmut Berger. From Vogue model to award winning actor. No one portrait Ludwig II better than Helmut Berger under the direction of his life partner, director/filmmaker Luchino Visconti. When life imitated art Helmut never got over the untimely death of his mentor and partner Visconti. He was denied attending Luchino’s funeral by Visconti’s bigoted family. (Believe me things like that happen to this very day). Then his close friend Romy Schneider died (with only 43 years of age). It totally broke Helmut and he probably never recovered from that pain which led to a life of extremes and numbing his feelings. Helmut Berger was photographed by #AndyWarhol , #DavidBalley , #HelmutNewton , played alongside #ElizabethTaylor #HenryFonda #MichaelCaine and many more. When I was 16 I was very much inspired by Helmut Berger’s rather dark and slightly Gothic look in Ludwig II , I dyed my hair black and started wearing very Edwardian inspired clothes (which I designed with my friend Claudia Witter, ex wife of NME writer Simon Witter) as this reflected the late portrayal of Ludwig II by Helmut Berger under the vision of Luchino Visconti to me.
