ITALY is one of the dreamiest destinations in Europe. The romantic waterways, the quaint cobbled streets, the historic buildings, the ancient bridges - it's holiday heaven for tourists.
But people who flocked to the famous sights and cities this summer got rather more than they bargained for.
Kanye "Ye" West and his Australian architect "wife", Bianca Censori, have been on an extended tour of the country - and their outings have caused a sensation.
Just take the trip to Venice, one of the loveliest cities in the land. Love is often in the air - and in this case it was in plain sight too.
Ye (46) and Bianca (28), in a water taxi for a trip down a waterway, got up close and very personal, he flashing his naked buttocks and she nestling between his legs with her elbows on his knees. The pair didn't seem to care as holidaymakers sailed by, lapping it all up with their phones at the ready.
The water taxi company did seem to care though: they have reportedly banned the couple from renting one of their vessels ever again.
The amorous boat ride was the latest sighting in an extended vacation that's had jaws dropping around the world.
The couple caused a stir in Venice when Bianca stepped out for lunch in a sheer top with a stocking on her head while Ye walked around barefoot.
Tongues wagged again when she showed her bottom in a white thong leotard and sheer leggings in Rome and later went braless in a plunging bodycon nude top as a shoeless Ye walked behind her with an open bottle of champagne.
On another occasion, a nude catsuit saw Bianca covering her nipples with a cross-body bag.
