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.
