Valentino's estate to a foundation, the discovery in the will: the villas, the castle, the yacht and the money: who are the beneficiaries

The estate of fashion designer Valentino Garavani has been transferred to the 'Valentino Garavani, Giancarlo Giammetti Foundation,' based in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, according to documents reviewed by Corriere della Sera. The foundation is the sole heir named in the will, which was executed under Swiss law and became effective in April 2026 after being accepted by the foundation. The estate includes several valuable assets such as a villa on the Appia Road, a 46-meter yacht called 'Tm BlueOne,' artworks including pieces by Picasso and Andy Warhol, a French castle, and foreign bank accounts, including one at Coutts & Company. While the foundation is the legal heir, the will also includes various legacies to individuals close to Valentino, such as his partner Vernon Bruce Hoeksema, longtime friend Giancarlo Giammetti, his nephew Piero Villani, and the family of Brazilian businessman Carlos Souza. The process of distributing these legacies is still ongoing.
