Interestingly, Green Bay Packers safety Evan Williams also proposed in the same region, making Lake Como a popular spot for Wisconsin sports stars, Green Bay Press Gazette noted.
A Stunning Proposal at Villa del Balbianello
Turner chose Villa del Balbianello as the backdrop for his proposal. The historic villa sits on a wooded promontory jutting into Lake Como. It is one of the most photographed spots in Italy. The setting made for dramatic photos, which both Turner and McCloud posted to their Instagram accounts, according to Yahoo.
The villa has appeared in major films, including James Bond's 'Casino Royale' and 'Star Wars: Episode II.' Turner's choice of the location signals he went all out for the moment. The photos quickly drew attention from fans and fellow athletes online.

Turner is known as one of the NBA's best rim protectors. His off-court life has stayed relatively private. The Lake Como proposal gave fans a rare personal glimpse into the big man's life away from basketball.
Wisconsin Athletes Keep Proposing in Lake Como
Turner is not the first Wisconsin sports figure to pop the question near Lake Como. Green Bay Packers safety Evan Williams also proposed in the same Lombardy region of Italy, according to HTR News.
