Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori sparked fury during their controversial visit to Italy last year, which saw them face calls to be arrested after they put on a very amorous display on board a water taxi.
But despite the outcry they faced last year, that hasn’t stopped them from returning to the country.
Not only did Kanye, 46, and Bianca, 29, make a visit to Milan in February for fashion week, they were back in Italy on Monday.
While the couple were banned from the water taxi company they used during their 2023 loved-up display – and Bianca’s fashion choices risking fines – it seems they have decided to ignore the backlash to make another journey to Italy.
While time will only tell if they will cause the same uproar as they did last year, Bianca was already raising eyebrows when she landed in Italy wearing a racy jumpsuit that displayed her backside.

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.

Bianca flashed the flesh once again in a shiny white thong bodysuit, while her spouse wore a white hoodie and cream trousers.
According to body language expert Judi James – who frequently lifts the lid on the meaning behind celebrities movements – the couple’s decision to sport matching all-white ensembles could actually have been a nod 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 DailyMail.com: ‘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.’
