Brad & Angelina buy $40 Million Italian Villa

Celebrity power couple, Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie, have reportedly bought a $40 million villa near Verona in northern Italy.

The couple spent several months with their six children, Maddox (9), Pax (7), Zahara (5), Shiloh (4), and twins Knox and Vivienne (2), in the area while Jolie filmed her new movie ‘The Tourist’.

The Palladian-style estate is set at the foothills of Valpolicella and has a massive 18,000 square foot of living space and  includes seven bathrooms, home cinema, gym, landscaped grounds, and two swimming pools.

The couple have been highlighted again this week having won a court case against a London Tabloid after it wrongly reported the pair had split up in January 2010 and that they planned to split their fortune as well as custody of their six kids.

The pair took the newspaper to the High Court in London where the couple were awarded an undisclosed sum. In true Jolie-Pitt style, the couple are donating the proceeds directly to their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
