ITALY:

George Clooney has revealed he will marry his fiancee in Venice, one of the world's most romantic backdrops, in a couple of weeks.

The heart-throb actor is to marry human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in the Italian city.

Clooney revealed the venue - but not the exact wedding date - during a star-studded benefit evening in Florence.

He owns a lakeside villa in northern Italy.
