My theory that Ray Chandler was going to go hide out in Tuscany after sailing on PUFFY to Italy seems more interesting now.
Inside Villa Cetinale: The luxurious Tuscan villa beloved by the social set
After a loving renovation by its current owners, the Earl and Countess of Durham, it's unsurprising that the former 1990s party house has become a hot spot once again - this time for an arty crown and the international jet-set - and now it has been captured in all its glory in a new Rizzoli coffee table tome.
"A few secret rooms and passages off the main rooms add to a sense of intrigue, fuelling rumours of headless ghosts and groaning cardinals."

House is connected to Jasper Guiness (godfather of current owner) and Lord Anthony Labton, of 1970s sex scandal fame.
Lord Anthony Lambton was at the centre of one of the raciest scandals of his day when photographed in bed with two prostitutes and caught with cannabis.
The ensuing storm rocked the political establishment in 1973 and the then junior defence minister was forced to resign.
