Will George Clooney sell his Italian paradise?
Clooney has joined a protest to stop construction plans al Laglio where he ohwns a villa on the shores of Lake Como which is famous for his beautiful places www.dde-europe.com
The mayor of Laglio want to send 15 Million Dollars building parking spaces and a bridge which would pass right in front of the Hollywood heard throb's house.
The star is urging now the 300 townpeople to sign a petition against further development of the town. The mayor Mr Clooney is threatening to quit the town if the plans go ahead. In the past strict pannig laws have curbed development around the lake, leaving small, unspoilt towns along its shores. The rick and famous have always considered Lake Como the perfect spot for mountain air, spectacular views and seclusion. The actor bought his villa in 2002 for about 10 Million Dollars. But since he arrived in Laglio, things have begun to change. Touists are coming up to the small town to visit where their star lives. So Mr Cloonez took the unusual step of attending a meeting of the Laglio protest committee this week to add his voice to the chorus of neighbourhood objection. "It has got to stop," said Clooney. "I don't want mz presence here affecting the local population. The bulding work is only being done because I live here. And unless it stops I'm going to have to move." The actor has now added his name to the petition to stop the work.
