Famous Italians and Italians

Celebrities who have property in Italy

Italy is a country of stunning beauty. Wine, pizza, the sea and a warm climate can not leave indifferent even the most sophisticated people. And therefore it is not surprising that many celebrities buy real estate here. And here are a few stars who could not resist the temptation and bought a villa or house on the Apennine Peninsula.

Leonardo DiCaprio

15 years after the actor starred in the movie “Romeo and Juliet,” the Hollywood star acquired a luxurious villa overlooking the arena in Verona (Arena di Verona).

DiCaprio, who has Italian roots, was spotted in the city in 2011 with his ex-girlfriend Blake Lively. In the neighborhood with the actor live such celebrities as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and singer Madonna also seriously thinks to buy herself a house near her compatriots.

Sting

The singer is the happy owner of real estate of the 16th century in Tuscany (Toscana).

However, for him, a luxury villa is rather considered an ordinary country house. The Palagio today is still an operating farm that produces many products, including honey, olive oil and wine. Unlike Clooney, the famous artist decided to lease some of his buildings for rent.

So, for a week in Palaggio, his guests pay Sting about 7 thousand euros.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

In 2010, a star couple acquired the Villa Constanza mansion in Italy.

The purchase cost the actors 40 million euros, but it was worth it. The windows of the huge house offer a beautiful view of the Verona Arena, on the territory of the mansion there are vineyards and stables. Numerous couples also have a lot of fun. The house has 15 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a cinema and several pools. According to rumors, Jolie fell in love with Italy after she starred with Johnny Depp in the action movie "Tourist".

George Lucas

The creator of the legendary Star Wars movie series spent € 10.5 million on the acquisition and restoration of a small castle from the 16th century in the suburb of Passignano sul Trasimeno in the Umbria region.

Local residents were not particularly enthusiastic when they learned that a well-known film director would live with them in the neighborhood. Lucas has repeatedly encountered the annoying Italians, and they did not give him a pass. But this did not make the celebrity change his good opinion of Italy. He even hired a man who regularly buys him ice cream in a nearby village.

Helen Mirren

The British actress also could not resist the beauties of the country and bought a farmhouse in Lecce in the Puglia region.

It is no coincidence that the celebrity chose this particular area: a fan of peace and tranquility hoped to enjoy a modest life. Mirren spent a huge amount of money on the restoration of its acquisition, and also insisted on installing solar panels.

Santa Lucia Station in Venice

The first thing that guests of Venice see when arriving in the city on the water by train is the Santa Lucia Station (Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia). This building can be called a "black sheep" among other Venetian buildings: it was built relatively recently: in the middle of the 20th century. Nevertheless, when the tourist’s foot just steps on the platform of Santa Lucia, he immediately smells an amazing Venetian smell of damp and mud, which, however, still conveys a certain romantic spirit.
