Cristiano Ronaldo is settling into his new Italian life well. The Portuguese megastar has made an optimal impression on everyone he has met thus far, although one high-profile comedienne is allegedly less than enthused by his arrival.

The former Real Madrid idol is living in a villa in the hills above Turin. Juventus took him to see several options, and he chose a secluded home behind the Gran Madre di Dio church. The house, a short drive out of the city, is a minimalist, modern structure with large windows and exposed iron fittings.

The eight-bedroom property is tucked away in a leafy enclave, perfect for someone who values privacy. As soon as he selected his new base, he asked Juventus to lay fresh tarmac on the winding drive to improve access for his fleet of high-performance vehicles.

The early signs are that Cristiano Ronaldo is already right at home at new club Juventus

The compound contains two homes. Ronaldo will take the upper part along with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and his children. On Monday, fashion model Rodriguez posted a photo from the balcony demonstrating the fantastic view.

The player's mother Dolores will be returning to Portugal, as she revealed at his unveiling press conference. Naturally, the house features a gym and according to some reports an indoor and outdoor swimming pool.

The player's staff are expected to live in the lower lodgings. Ronaldo has brought his chef, nutritionist and physiotherapist to Turin. Juventus had no problem with him importing his own medical specialist. Senior Juventus director John Elkann is one of the forward's new neighbours.

But it's another local who is supposedly less enamoured by the flashy new man on the block. Feisty comedienne Luciana Littizzetto lives on the same road and is apparently concerned about an invasion of fans and photographers on the idyllic lane.

Her partner Davide Graziano, a musician, denied there was any problem. That's just as well, because on her day, the adored, sharp-tongued Littizzetto can be as formidable as any rugged defender Ronaldo has faced in his 15-year career. The fact she is a Juventus fan might also soothe any rancour.

On the football front it's smiles all round. Juve have won the last seven titles and four consecutive league and cup doubles. They are the epitome of professionalism and dedication. Yet, even the Bianconeri squad, brimming with undisputed champions, are flabbergasted by their new companion's work ethic.

Mediaset journalist Gianni Balzarini has been following CR7-mania. 'When the Juve players arrive at training, they find that Cristiano has already been there for a while. And he is always the last to leave. The rest of the group were amazed by his approach.'

It's worth re-enforcing that this isn't a gaggle of pub players staring in awe at their new team-mate and his methods. It's an ultra-competitive unit featuring World Cup and Champions League winners.

Balzarini says 'Juventus players are told that every season they start from zero. What happened before doesn't matter, they have to be hungry and motivated. That sits perfectly with Ronaldo. He is the embodiment of that determination to improve every day. Ronaldo and Juventus are the perfect match.'

The Italian reporter continues: 'Ronaldo already knew the old guard of Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini. He is settling in well. He knew a bit of Italian and it won't take him long to add more, speaking Portuguese and Spanish will help him learn quickly.'

As if fans weren't already ecstatic about their luxurious recruit, one burgeoning relationship on and off the pitch has made headlines. Ronaldo appears to have bonded with Argentine attacker Paulo Dybala. The little No 10 has undoubted talent and is viewed by some as Lionel Messi's heir.

Ronaldo has regularly been the first one to arrive at Juventus training and the last to leave

His commitment to continual improvement fits in well with the club's champion mentality

The duo's understanding and friendship grows daily. Dybala, known as the Jewel, published an Instagram photo of him and CR7 doing 'muscleman' poses a few days ago and it has attracted four million 'likes'. If they click on the turf they could be unplayable.

But it's the off-field influence that could really benefit Dybala. He will learn so much by observing his senior team-mate's lifestyle at close quarters. It could be the final polish to turn the Jewel into a sparkling world icon.

Juventus are desperate to win the Champions League after a 22-year gap, and their prestigious new boy gives them a fine chance. He hasn't put a foot wrong so far. It's only the start of his 'Italian Job', but it's going molto bene.
