Kanye West has been discussing his love for Florence, Italy.

The ‘Yeezus’ rap star and his fiancée Kim Kardashian are set to wed at Florence's 16th Century Belvedere Fort on May 24.

A spokeswoman for the mayor's office has confirmed that Kim and Kanye have rented the villa for 300,000 euros (£244,000).

The 36-year-old rapper has gone on to reveal his admiration for the Italian location in an interview with Florence’s La Nazione newspaper.

Kanye spoke about his previous visits to the historical city. He stated: “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.”

West went on to share that he believes his daughter, North West, may have been conceived whilst the pair holidayed in Florence.

The ‘Monster’ musician explained: “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.”
