George Clooney is planning to marry in Venice.
The Monuments Men actor and human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin are tying the knot in Italy in September and decided against holding their wedding at his Lake Como estate because they felt it wasn't private enough. A source told the
New York Post's Page Six: ''George and Amal want to be married in Italy, but they need a location that offers them and their guests privacy.''
George - who also didn't want to inconvenience his Lake Como neighbors with the attention his wedding would bring - and Amal were seen dining in Venice a few weeks ago after touring wedding venues and are said to be planning to marry at a palace in the city. The pair visited Venetian restaurant Da Ivo along with the 53-year-old actor's bodyguard and his girlfriend, and they enjoyed a feast of sautéed shellfish, smoked tuna, mussel soup, crayfish and artichoke risotto and charcoal-grilled seabass accompanied by Prosecco and white wine. The next morning, they flew out of Venice airport by helicopter.
