Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Angers the Medici Family After Renting Historical Fort for Their Wedding!
Despite the successful wedding ceremony that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have managed to pull off, things weren't as always smooth for the famous duo. According to a report by The Telegraph, the famous American couple put a frown on the living descendant of the Medici family namely Prince Ottaviano de' Medici di Toscana when the duo rented the fort his ancestors built.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West rented the posh Forte di Belvedere, which the famous family Medici built in the 16th era. The prince says that he does not know who Kim Kardashian is but that is not what has made the prince upset; the last descendant of the high-esteemed family explained the situation by saying:
"The city is renting out our palazzo for small change to be used as dance halls. Events like this represent a danger to the cultural integrity and historical authenticity of the city, which is protected, and could mean a possible loss of UNESCO status or being placed on UNESCO's danger list. They are selling the city off and many here are disgusted... The fort should be used for institutional encounters, where heads of governments come to build cultural and economic relationships, as it was used down the centuries. And not as a ballroom."
The 57-year old prince is also head of a conservatorship in Florence and worries about the cultural integrity of structures that he manages.
This is not the first time the American couple has angered venue officials. Recently reported on IBTimes, Kimye was turned away by officials of the Palace of Versailles, the historical home to monarchs of France, after the staff deemed the famous duo "not too distinguished" to use the venue.
In a statement released by Catherin Pegard, president of the Palace of Versailles, the duo was advised to have a tour for their guests around the Palace instead of holding the ceremony at venue.
"Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have decided to visit the Chateau of Versailles with their guests in a private surprise tour organize for Friday, May 23rd, on the eve of their marriage...In making this choice, they will help contribute once more to a better understanding of Versailles, and will maintain the exceptional heritage of Versailles, which is classes as a world heritage site by UNESCO." Pegard said.
