George Clooney is to marry his fiancee in a romantic ceremony in Venice, Italy, according to a U.S. report.

The actor and his bride-to-be, Amal Alamuddin, have been scouting venues in Italy for their big day and a new report suggests they have picked the floating city for their nuptials.

The couple is hoping to book a historic palace for the wedding, according to New York Post gossip column Page Six.

A source tells the website, "George and Amal want to be married in Italy, but they need a location that offers them and their guests privacy."

The wedding is reportedly set for September (14).
