George Clooney and Amal Clooney have touched down in Venice ahead of the 80th edition of the International Film Festival this week.<\/p>\n
The married couple were spotted wandering the breathtaking Italian city while holding hands, just one day before the event kicked off.<\/p>\n
In pictures taken during their stroll, Amal, 45, looked both elegant and opulent in a monochrome floral shift dress.<\/p>\n
Her daytime ensemble featured a mini hemline, bold flowers, and a sleeveless design.<\/p>\n
To accessorise the casual look, the barrister opted to strut the streets in a pair of pointed slingback black heels, and carried a small black leather handbag.<\/p>\n
