With the premiere of American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace [2] set to air on Jan. 17, interest has sparked in the life of the late Gianni Versace and the details surrounding his tragic murder [3], specifically his burial site. Gianni was shot and killed by a man named Andrew Cunanan in front of his Miami Beach retreat, Casa Casuarina, on July 15, 1997. His body was cremated in Miami [4] a day after his death, and a private memorial service was held by his family at St. Patrick's Catholic Church.

Following the Miami memorial, Gianni's family transported his ashes to his native Italy and held a public memorial [5] at Milan Cathedral, which was attended by several celebrities including Naomi Campbell [6], Princess Diana, Elton John, and Sting. His ashes are buried in his family's vault at Moltrasio cemetery [7] near Lake Como.
