George Clooney and Amal Clooney attended an event at Villa Passalacqua in Lake Como earlier in August, continuing the couple’s customary summer visits to Italy. The 65-year-old actor and the 48-year-old human-rights lawyer arrived in coordinated ivory clothing.

The appearance followed a July evacuation from the family’s home in Brignoles in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region as wildfires spread across southern Europe. The couple live there with their nine-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander.

In a letter to Brignoles mayor Didier Brémond, George Clooney said the family did not know whether its home would survive but remained committed to helping the town recover. Brignoles has a population of just under 18,000.

The couple also marked Clooney’s 65th birthday in St Tropez in May. Amal Clooney organised a celebration in which several of his friends appeared disguised as waiters.
