Checkout: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Italian wedding venue with maximum of 200 guests.
They're set to marry this weekend and it's full steam ahead with the preparations for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's nuptials.
As several Valentino clothes bags were seen being delivered to the couple's Parisian hotel - sparking further speculation as to who might be dressing the couple on their big day - Forte Belvedere in Florence, Italy was a hive of activity as workmen put everything together.
Following an evening event at le Palais de Versailles, guests will be flown via private jet to Florence, Italy, where the wedding will take place Saturday at Fort Belvedere.
A rep for the mayor of Florence, revealed the couple had rented the fort for more than $420,000.
Florence City Council spokesperson Elisa Di Lupo said said the funds would be used for cultural projects in the city.
Access to the fortress, which has stunning views of the Renaissance city, is nearly impossible, and the building can only be glimpsed from street level or from the adjacent Boboli Gardens.
The event will be an intimate party as the city has given permission for a maximum of 200 guests.
The fortress is apparently the couple's second choice after they allegedly were denied permission to wed at the Palace Of Versailles.
A spokesman for the historic French national monument on the outskirts of Paris made it clear that the American celebrities were not considered distinguished enough for an official ceremony and celebration.
Instead they can ‘enjoy a guided tour’ with family and friends on Friday night ‘after all the tourists have gone home.’
Safety and security are paramount as the rort has already seen the tragic deaths of two young people in recent years.
It was closed for five years from 2008 to 2013 after a tragedy in which a 37-year-old Italian woman died when she fell from the ramparts.
A 20-year-old man from Rome died two years before when he fell from the bastions.
After a lengthy court case the council put new safety and security measures in place. The fort was reopened to the public in 2013 but is only open in the summer months between July and September.
