Holmes to marry in Mussolini's base?

Tom Cruise and Kate Holmes are considering getting married at the World War II base of Benito Mussolini.

The dictator settled in the Villa Feltrinelli hotel in the 1940s, and reports claim that Holmes has taken a shine to the venue.

The couple intend to hold the ceremony on November 18, but are yet to confirm a setting. However, a source reveals she took Victoria Beckham to see the Feltrinelli on a recent trip: "Katie recently visited with Victoria and fell in love with it. It's ideal for her and Tom as it's hidden away by dense greenery on the landward side, while the view on the opposite side overlooking the lake is stunning.

"Katie and Victoria were made aware that Mussolini used it as a base during the war, but seemed more interested that the glamorous likes of Grace Kelly and Isadora Duncan had stayed there."
