Location, location: The rapper revealed he chose Florence because their daughter North was conceived there
Historical landmark: Forte Belvedere, where Kim and Kanye plan to marry next weekend, was built in 1590 for the Grand Duke Ferdinando di Medici to protect the city and to demonstrate the power and wealth of the family
After a period of closure the fortress was finally reopened last year and Kanye has been hard at work organising the surprise wedding for third time bride Kim, Italian friends say
The venue has a tragic past – two young people fell from the ramparts in 2006 and 2008, prompting the authorities to close the venue
Kim and Kanye visisted the Palace of Versailles for an official tour in January – but their request to have their wedding at the venue was said to have been denied.
They were believed to be hosting about 100 guests at a pre-wedding dinner in Paris before flying them to Florence. Their venue, a fortress built for the ruling Medici family of Florence, is a spectacular setting for their nuptials.
Today, Elisa Di Lupo, a spokeswoman for the Mayor of Florence, confirmed to the Associated Press the couple would wed in Florence next Saturday and revealed they had rented the imposing fort for 300,000 euros ($410,000). She said a a Protestant minister will preside over the nuptials.
