Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Buy $40 Mil Italian Villa

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have purchased a $40 million, 18,000-sq.-ft. villa in the hills of Valpolicella, Italy. The very private villa on landscaped grounds is equipped with a home cinema, gym, two swimming pools – one indoor and one outdoor, both with waterfalls – Jacuzzi tubs and acres of Carrara marble, according to a report by TheMarketFinancial.com.

After looking at two more relatively modest options around Verona for $13 million and $10 million, the uber-couple settled on the super-property. "They wanted something more exclusive and in record time to spend the summer vacation in Italy," Alexander Proto of Alexander Proto Consulting, a Swiss property firm favored by celebrities, told the site. –ANDREW BANKIN
