Kanye West reveals why he'll marry Kim Kardashian in the couple's secret favourite city Florence

For months Kim Kardashian and Kanye West looked set to exchange vows in France, even listing Paris as the wedding destination on their invite.
But after it emerged this week that the couple will actually say 'I do' in Florence, the rapper has revealed why the Italian city is so close to their heart.

In an interview with Florence's La Nazione newspaper on Friday, the 36-year-old said: 'I adore Florence. I love Italy and the Italian lifestyle.
'To tell you the truth, I already came to the banks of the Arno [river] with Kim last year, just the two of us, incognito.'
He continued: 'I think that our daughter North was conceived here among the Renaissance masterpieces.

'It was our first honeymoon. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world—for me the most beautiful in Europe.'
(The rapper took Kim on a tour of Italy for her 32nd birthday, visiting Florence in late October 2012 after stops in Rome and Venice.)
The groom made it clear he is feeling giddy ahead of the big day.

'[I'm] very happy,' he said. 'I am a romantic: for Mother’s Day I gave Kim a wall of flowers. Family is everything for me, the antidote to the pressure of fame. Family and creativity relax me. I am happy to create for my family.'
West has been staying in Florence and quietly studying with fashion designer Ermanno Scervino.
He said Kim, 33, inspires him and said they turn to each other for fashion advice.
'I consult her on elegance and what I wear,' he revealed. 'And she does the same for me. Today as a musician I like to dress in a less showy way than in the past.'

He is working on his music too, adding: 'I am composing a whole album, Made in Florence.'

The venue, a fortress built for the ruling Medici family of Florence, is a spectacular setting for their nuptials.
The venue has a tragic past, however. Two young people fell from the ramparts in 2006 and 2008, prompting the authorities to close the venue. 
It was finally reopened last year and Kanye has been hard at work organising the surprise wedding for second time bride Kim, Italian friends say.
