I’m like everyone else in the world. I sit and daydream about what I would do if I just miraculously won hundreds of millions of dollars playing the lottery. The miraculous part would not be the sum of money, but the fact that I won the lottery considering I never actually buy lottery tickets. But, I digress. My point is that I have had some whacked out fantasies about what I would do with a large sum of money, and while most of it does involve alcohol abuse and tons of nudity, there is that part of my brain that gravitates towards my house and thinks about all of the additions I would make to it. Still, as wild as my brain can be, I don’t think the thought of converting an alleyway out back into an Italian streetscape would have ever crossed my mind. That is, until I saw this post from the always-on-it Zillow Gone Wild Twitter account.
This couple loved Italy so much they brought it to their Las Vegas home by replicating an Italian street with fountains, cobblestones and even cafe tables.

Incredible. This is an entirely different world. You can read more about this home on The Wall Street Journal, where they talk about all the insane amenities this house has. Like, they were just tired of their side alleyway looking like an average normal alleyway, and they just said, “let’s make it Italy.” I think that’s what we classify as “fuck you money,” and it’s a great illustration of how the brains of wealthy people work compared to us normal folks. I’d have just been like, “ah, yeah – slap some cheap paint on that fence and it’ll look just fine.”
I’ve never been to Italy, but this is exactly what I’d imagine an old Italian street would look like. So, I’m just going to go ahead and give them credit for the accuracy of this buildout even if I can’t verify it. This looks like a movie set. It’s so romantic – I can’t imagine the types of movies that are going to be filmed here. I have to say, it might sound like I’m hating on these rich people in a passive aggressive way, but I’m really not. I think this is a wonderful idea. For me, I’m going to turn my garage into Paris…not because I’ve actually been, but because Midnight In Paris is one of my favorite movies. Or, you know what? I’m sick and tired of this overgrowth at the side of my house. Can I just turn it into Narnia?
