As the president and CEO of Tod's S.p.A., he's used to climbing into his silver twin-engine Dolphin helicopter after lunch at Villa Brancadoro?his 17th century hilltop residence in the town of Casette d'Ete, where he lives with his wife Barbara Pistilli and their son Filippo, 8?and zipping over to Ancona, where he usually boards his Falcon 2000 and jets off to Paris or New York City or maybe even Tokyo...

At issue: a giant sculpture park Dubuffet designed for the company's headquarters outside Paris. Nine months after construction began in January 1975, Renault decided that the Salon d'Ete would be too expensive to complete and to maintain, and called a halt. Dubuffet, who says the ensemble of sculpture is "the sum of twelve years of work," promptly sued "to defend the right of the artist over his creation"-and lost.
