Villa Oleandra da Clooney a De Niro?

05.12.2013
It seems that the charm and beauty of "that branch of Lake Como that turns at noon" has also touched De Niro, and now the news that the actor intends to buy a house on the shores of Lake Como is no longer just the result of rumors and word of mouth but is absolutely confirmed. Brief appearances of De Niro, whose family is originally from the province of Campobasso, in the areas around Como have been repeated for some time now and in the past few weeks and in the past few weeks the director of Bronx and The Good Sheperd has spent several days in Blevio, a village of a thousand inhabitants on the shores of the lake in the company of his wife Grace Hightower and their children Elliot and Helen. So far it could look like a vacation for the actor, who has had Italian citizenship since 2006, but it seems instead it was a real inspection to choose the best of the villas ready to be bought on Lake Como; in fact, as stated in a recent article in the New York Times, the market for luxury homes offered for sale in this area is absolutely growing and therefore it seems to be the right time to get a good deal. The many meetings that have taken place in the last period between the actor who plays Michael Corleone in the trilogy of The Godfather and George Clooney push towards the possibility that there may be a change of ownership for Clooney's house in Laglio, Villa Oleandra. Extreme fantasy or possible deal?
