The Peacemaker is going to war.

George Clooney is fuming after shutterbugs allegedly snuck into his Italian compound and snapped a photo of a topless 13-year-old girl who was a guest at the villa.

"I don't know about the law in the United States but in Italy it's illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom," the Out of Sight star said in a statement to TMZ. "I draw the line of privacy at that."

No lawsuits have been filed yet. Clooney was clued in to the surreptitious snaps when they turned up in two tabloids. The pictures also included images of the 48-year-old actor and his latest conquest, 30-year-old Italian beauty Elisabetta Canalis, lounging about the Lake Como digs.

The Clooney-hunting paparazzi are so bad that, according to London's The Independent, Lake Como's mayor is going to fine groups of four or more outside Clooney's home (be it photographers or just plain ol' gawkers) $30 a person.

Yeah, that'll show 'em.
