Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori aroused outrage during their controversial visit to Italy last year. They faced calls to be imprisoned after putting on an amorous show on board a water taxi.
Despite the outcry last year, they have returned to the country.
Kanye, 46, and Bianca, 29, not only visited Milan for fashion week in February, but also returned to Italy on Monday.
While the couple was barred from using the water taxi business they used during their 2023 romantic display, and Bianca’s wardrobe choices could result in fines, it appears they have opted to disregard the outrage and return to Italy.
While only time will tell if they will generate the same outcry as last year, Bianca was already making headlines when she arrived in Italy wearing a 𝓈ℯ𝓍y jumpsuit that exposed her rear.

During their 2023 trip, the couple were banned by the water taxi company for their indecent exposure scandal and faced calls to be arrested.
The couple were spotted enjoying an amorous moment on the boat, with West exposing his bare buttocks in front of gawking tourists.
Images of the couple showed the American rapper seated at the back of the river taxi while Bianca placed her head in his lap.
Online critics have argued that the flesh-baring display constituted ‘public indecency.’
Not only that, but Bianca’s incredibly revealing ensembles sparked fury from locals and were described by social media users as ‘disrespectful’ in a country known for its conservative Catholic heritage.
Her racy outfits put her at risk of being fined €10,000 and even imprisonment. According to the Italian Constitutional Court, a fine from 5,000 to 10,000 euros can be issued, or whoever exposes in a place or nearby to a place attended by minors, may be sentenced from four months to four years imprisonment.
Interestingly, their latest trip comes just two days after what would have been Kanye and his now ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s 10th wedding anniversary.
Kanye and Kim wed in Florence on May 24, 2014 – and the rapper and his new wife were spotted landing in the same city on May 26, 2024.

Interestingly, their newest vacation comes only two days after what would have been Kanye and his now-ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s tenth wedding anniversary.
Bianca flashed the flesh once more in a dazzling white thong bodysuit, while her husband sported a white hoodie and cream slacks.
According to body language expert Judi James, who frequently reveals the meaning behind celebrities’ gestures, the couple’s decision to wear matching all-white ensembles could be an homage to Kanye’s wedding to ex-wife Kim, which took place in Florence ten years ago.
She said: ‘Almost ten years to the day since Kanye married Kim in Florence in one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the decade he’s back with his current wife Bianca and they seem to be making a rather controversial nod to the anniversary by both appearing clad in bridal white outfits.
‘This looks like statement dressing as well as statement-making body language. The couple present as a matching duo with Kanye swapping his top to toe black fabrics for a more eye catching white combo that reveals his face and which looks chosen to compliment Bianca’s body stocking.’
But according to Judi, while Kanye’s outfit may have alluded to his former spouse, his body language showed that he was interested in nobody but his current wife.
Judi told: ‘He’s also more tactile. While Bianca walked out alone with the first air bag fashion, this time there seems to be more romantic connection signals between them with Kanye at one point placing a hand on his wife’s hip in a signal of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual approval and attraction.’
