Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in Venice

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have jetted to Venice so Jolie can start shooting her new movie.

The Hollywood couple are apparently renting a 15th century property to live in with their brood of six children while Angelina works on “The Tourist” film.

They began their stay in Italy with a trip out for ice-cream with their four eldest kids – Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, five, and three-year-old Shiloh.

Jolie and Pitt  were later spotted out carrying their 19-month-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.

Angelina Jolie  is expected to start shooting The Tourist next month. The drama thriller, which co-stars Johnny Depp, is due out 2011.
