Rome's 17th Century San Michele Seeks Buyer at 58 Million
Rome's San Michele hospice, a 1689 built 1000 room riverfront palace, is for sale for 2.5 billion lire about $4 million with repairs equal, as authorities search for a buyer to preserve the historic site amid zoning limits and decades of decay. The institute that owns it cites lack of funds for restoration and calls for national purchase or sale to the state. Once housing for the aged and war evacuees, the vast complex spans four city blocks along the Tiber and remains a cultural landmark awaiting action.

Some researchers note arterial linings may be damaged first by metabolic factors before fat deposits form.
