The official said the couple had rented the 16th century
Belvedere Fort for 300,000 euros ($411,100) for the occasion,
which will be presided over by a Protestant pastor.
However, as the castle is not an authorized site for weddings,
there was some question about whether the event will be an
officially recognized marriage ceremony or a celebration with
some looser status.
Asked how he was feeling as the day approached, West told the
local La Nazione daily: "Quite emotional. But very happy. I'm a
romantic: I gave Kim a wall of flowers for Mother's Day. Family
is everything for me, it's the antidote to the stresses of fame.
Family and creativity relax me."
The couple will be accompanied by their daughter North, who West
said was "conceived here, among the masterpieces of the
Renaissance".
"It was our first honeymoon. It's one of the most beautiful
cities in the world, for me, it's the most beautiful in Europe."
Representatives for Kardashian and West did not immediately
respond to requests for comment.
