On 15 July 1997, fashion designer Gianni Versace was shot dead on the doorstep of his own mansion. The film by Salvatore Zannino, who had once worked with the deceased as a model, lovingly recounts the fate of the famous couturier: the film includes a detailed biographical chronicle, interviews with Versace’s muses, a tour of his mansions, and details of the era that the protagonist embodied.
