KEY POINTS:
ROME - Tom Cruise flew into Rome today ahead of his wedding to actress Katie Holmes this weekend in Italy, an airport official told Reuters.
The Mission: Impossible star, presumably in town early to wrap up last-minute details, swooped into the eternal city around midday.
He was seen slipping into a black limousine at Ciampino airport, accompanied by bodyguards.
The Hollywood couple are tipped to have chosen a 15th century castle just outside of Rome as the location for the celebrity wedding.
Giorgio Armani is designing Holmes' wedding gown.
