Angelina Jolie Buys Italian Home

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have bought a $40 million mansion in Italy.

The property - in the Italian hills of Valpolicella - features 15 bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a theatre and two swimming pools, and is the third in the showbiz pair's property portfolio, adding to a Los Angeles mansion and New Orleans home.

Angelina reportedly fell in love with Italy while filming her latest epic 'The Tourist' with Johnny Depp.

However, the couple and their children, Maddox, nine, Pax, six, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, will continue to use their Los Angeles home as their base.

Meanwhile, the 'Changeling' actress has visited the victims of flooding in Pakistan in a bid to draw attention to the disaster - which has killed 1,500 people and affected a further 20 million.

After meeting survivors of the devastation, she said: "I am very moved by them and I hope that I am able to do something to help bring attention to the situation for all the people in need in Pakistan.

"This is not just a humanitarian crisis, it is an economic and social catastrophe."

Discussing what she saw when she visited homes affected by the floods, she said: "There are people displaced by the floods and they've lost their homes, the water was as high as the ceiling. It's not just a tent that has collapsed, it's a home, it's collapsed, it's mud, it's their entire life.

"Many of them lost their children. So there is irreparable damage."
