A U.S.-born princess is selling her 16th century Italian villa, decorated by Caravaggio, for more than $300 million

Rome — A home fit for a princess is on the market in Italy — all you need is the budget of a billionaire. Valued at more than half a billion dollars, the 16th century "Villa Aurora" estate is among the most expensive homes for sale in the world. But you haven't lost your chance: It failed to sell at auction on Tuesday.
The villa comes with rare classical art masterpieces, and so many rooms that the current owner hasn't even bothered to count them. CBS News correspondent Chris Livesay got a tour, and he got to meet the real-life American-born princess who's ready to move out.
It's got the makings of a fairy tale: A prince marries a woman from Texas, makes her a princess, and gives her a castle with art virtually spilling out of its windows — all of it priceless.
