THE "world's most expensive home" is on sale for an eye-watering price – but no-one wants to buy it.
It's the fourth time this year the exquisite Casino dell'Aurora in Rome, Italy, has gone to market.
The 16th century villa is the only known building with a ceiling painted by legendary artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
Caravaggio, perhaps one of the most iconic Italian painters of the 1500s, was born in 1571 passed away at 38.
The impressive 30,000 square feet property, once used as a hunting lodge, was relisted on October 18 for a whopping £155million and has a minimum asking price of £207million.
Italian authorities hope the price sky rockets in an open auction.

The incredible home has had its asking price slashed four times this year, starting off with £405million in January and eventually dropping to £259 in June.
The property is believed to house works by other famous painters such as Bril, Domenichino, Pomarancio, Viola and Guercino.
It also has a sculpture believed to have been from Michelangelo and an ornate staircase designed by Carlo Maderno.
But the lucky buyer will have to fork out an extra £9million to restore the home as mandated by Italian heritage laws.

The home went on sale after a bitter inheritance dispute in 2018 when its previous owner, Prince Prince Nicolò Boncompagni Ludovisi, passed away.
Italian courts ordered the property go on auction after Ludiovisi's wife and three kids failed to reach an agreement on how split up the asset, which has been in the family for 400 years.
Princess Rita Boncompagni-Ludovisi, the prince's third wife, told NPR that you'd "have to have a billionaire; a millionaire is not enough" to take over.
She said: "It needs someone with deep pockets, who doesn’t care if you have to spend 10 thousand on a water leak or something."
