The Marchesa Casati





The Italian heiress lived in a Gothic Art Deco manor where peacocks and monkeys roamed freely. She threw opulent soirees. Once, La Casati wore a dress of white feathers, streaked with fresh blood. Another time, she draped live snakes around her neck and led two cheetahs on a leash, while being waited upon by male slaves wearing nothing but gold leaf.
