The 30,000-square-foot Villa Aurora in Rome is back on the market after being listed for a starting price of nearly NZ$800 million - making it potentially the most expensive home in the world - and failing to sell at auction. Bill Gates and Madonna are among those who have apparently expressed an interest in the property. Unsurprisingly, this is no normal home. Along with housing the ruins of an ancient Roman villa that may have belonged to Caesar, the historic property has a statue attributed to Michelangelo and the big ticket item, the only known ceiling mural painted by Baroque master Caravaggio (valued at NZ$520 million on its own). The BBC's Rome correspondent Mark Lowen was allowed to take a look inside Villa Aurora. He joins the show to detail the experience.
