CERNOBBIO - Around here are home. And it is difficult that the movements of the couple more 'glamor of Lake Como, the Hollywood star George Clooney and his lawyer wife Amal Clooney, can 

escape to some witnesses. Especially if you are aboard a flashy SUV to invite to dinner a leading figure such as former president of the UN, Kofi Annan. In all probability 'to speak of Maldives, but not to organize a holiday.
It 'happened the other night at the Hotel five-star Villa d'Este in Cernobbio, home to the traditional end of summer workshops organized by Ambrosetti. Where they will gather economists, managers, entrepreneurs and political elite. Among the guests this year, even the Ghanaian politician called to give its contribution to a debate on Africa's economic theft.
Friday evening, Clooney and his wife came with Kofi Annan and machine are then sent in the direction of the house that the actor has bought on the lake a couple of kilometers from Villa d'Este. Only a meeting between old acquaintances, as the 37 year-old Alamuddin worked at the UN when Annan was number one of the Glass Palace, coordinating commissions of inquiry on human rights.
But, strangely, the lawyer Alamuddin guide now defense of former Prime Minister of the Maldives Mohammed Nasheed, who not only was deposed after a coup coup, but was also sentenced to 13 years, in a process behind which he was the hand of the new president Abdullah Yameen coup. The two will meet again soon in court and everything suggests that Alamuddin's request to hand to Kofi Annan, also because the front adverse hired for the study which began work another lawyer, the wife of a famous person planetary Cherie Blair. A clash, in effect, in which peacekeepers could intervene.

George knows many people I see no reason he wouldn't know Kofi Annan with all the work he does for Sudan.

He does know Kofi Annan and has had him to his villa a few years back.

In any case, Kofi Annan has his own place on the lake, and wouldn't necessarily have been staying at Villa D'Este on the day he addressed the Forum.........

Kofi Annan from Clooney. The secret dinner in Laglio
 

The former president of the UN in Cernobbio for the Ambrosetti forum. "We are good friends". "My biggest dream? Buy house here on the lake '

"My biggest dream? Buy a house on Lake Como. " This was revealed by Kofi Annan, the former United Nations secretary general, who took part in the Ambrosetti forum in Cernobbio. "This is the sixth time I go back - told us embracing gaze at the lake view made even more magical by the clear sky and the sun - it's like being in paradise."

Annan so loves the Lario who confessed the envoy of a national newspaper that he had taken refuge here incognito for three months in a villa above Menaggio, in the retreat of old friends, after leaving the post at the UN.

Instead he wanted to keep for himself the secret invitation to dinner Clooney. At the end of the second day of the workshop, when the elite of politics, finance and the international press had already left their positions, the Nobel Prize has taken advantage of the cameras to get on the boat of the American star.

The luxury boat has arrived at Villa d'Este when it was dark and the VIPs of the summit had already attavolati the veranda of five stars. On board were George and Amal, for the first time all'Ambrosetti, even if in the form more traveling tight angle. After loading on board the guest, they have been taken off at a time of Laglio.

Sunday, during lunch, Annan has not only confirmed to "The Province" had spent the evening at Villa Oleandra, but also added to meet the star for a long time. "We are good friends, connect us many things." Consummate diplomat, Annan then replied courteously, but firmly to our question: what has talked with Mr. Clooney and MSR? "It was a strictly private conversation, I have nothing to add."

Of course, the visit endorses the increasing reports regarding the political ambitions of the American star and his wife.

Thanks to George Clooney Aficionados.

Put Kofi Annan in the search box and you can see the pics. But the date says 6 sept 2015 which can not be right. Amal must have been on her way to the Maldives 6 sept.
