Anyone who leaves their car or boat within 100m of Clooney's two villas - Villa Oleandra and Villa Margherita - will be liable to pay the fine.

The mayor of Laglio has declared a fine of up to €500 (£370) for anyone who approaches George Clooney's luxury lakeside villa, on the shores of Lake Como in Italy.

The Hollywood star of Gravity and Ocean's Eleven has owned the magnificent Villa Oleandra, in the heart of the village, for more than a decade, ever since buying it in 2002 for €7.5 million.

Since the actor bought the 18th century villa, photographers and fans have flocked to the town, loitering around the Clooney's home.

The more daring autograph-seekers even ring his bell. Clooney later bought Villa Margherita, which adjoins it, to increase privacy.
