3 weeks ago | esquiremag.ph | Madison Vain

W. B. Yeats was buried just down the road,” says Bono near the end of our first afternoon together, name-checking the famed Irish poet.

Behind us, the Mediterranean Sea fills the horizon, blue as far as the eye can see. His property stretches before us. A few houses. Couple of pools. It’s blissfully private, even if the glitz of Monaco and Cannes isn’t too far away.
