4. GEORGE CLOONEY

The ageless sex symbol was probably the first Hollywood VIP to buy an Italian villa, his purchase of Villa Oleandra on Lake Como was – and still is – one iconic moment. Other celebrities followed suit, like Leonardo Di Caprio who bought a house in Verona. Clooney loves everything Italian, including women: we still remember his liason with starlet Elisabetta Canalis. One of the movies he loved most is The American, shot in Abruzzo.
