The iconic gold Medusa head logo — a symbol founder Gianni Versace saw in the Roman ruins he and his siblings grew up playing around in Reggio Calabria — is now set to fall under the control of fashion rival Prada.
Prada has now completed the €1.25 billion purchase that brings Versace, one of Italy’s most flamboyant fashion houses, under the wing of a Milanese fashion empire.
