Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori ‘secretly rented Sting’s lavish estate in Tuscany and threw wild parties’ during couple’s controversial Italian vacation
Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori are said to have secretly rented Sting’s luxurious 16th century home in Tuscany during their infamous holiday in Italy last year.
The rapper, 46, and the Yeezy architect, 29, made headlines several times while on vacation last summer, most notably after they were photographed performing a lewd act on a boat in Venice.
And now it’s claimed the pair continued their wild behavior out of public view while in the country.
The sun reports that the couple rented out singer Sting’s swanky estate, Il Palagiofor, for their stay, where they threw a slew of raucous parties.
A source told the publication: “If people thought Kanye was having a good time in Italy after seeing the photos of him and Bianca in Venice, they don’t know what was going on with Sting. Kanye, Bianca and his entourage partied hard while they were there.

‘It’s an incredible location and completely off the beaten track so they could throw parties all night and make as much noise as they wanted without disturbing anyone. It was quite a scene to have Kanye and his friends take over the house, one of the most picturesque homes in all of Italy.
‘Kanye stayed for most of August and September and made full use of the grounds, which include a lake and tennis courts. People who have traveled have talked about how crazy their parties were and they hope he repeats that. It was wild.’
Sting, 72, and his wife Trudie, 70, bought the dilapidated property in 1999, before renovating it and buying more land from the previous owner, Duke Simone Vincenzo Velluti di San Clemente.
The expansive villa, which is located 45 minutes southeast of Florence in the Chianti region, produces wine, olive oil and honey.
It has nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms, employs fifteen employees, and gThe couple’s guests included Band Aid’s Sir Bob Geldof and actor Dustin Hoffman.
In addition to the main house, the property has five enormous cottages that can accommodate 50 guests who can make use of all the facilities and staff.
Landscaped gardens provide plenty of opportunities to keep everyone entertained, and Sting placed a three-metre tall Buddha statue in a chapel near the main building.
The estate also features a life-size chessboard, a tree house overlooking a lake, a fountain that once belonged to actress Sophia Loren, a tennis court and a swimming pool.

Kanye has faced widespread criticism in recent months for sharing provocative images of the Australian designer on social media, raising questions about whether or not she is being ‘controlled’ by the controversial rapper.
Insiders have claimed that despite loving the attention, Bianca is starting to feel used and struggles with Kanye ‘aiming for more’ ahead of the release of the delayed Vultures 2.
“She needs a break and needs to step back,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. “She loved the attention, but it’s becoming overwhelming and Kanye keeps pushing for more, more, more leading up to the release of Vultures 2.”
The insider explained that the former Yeezy employee was aware that she was “overexposed” and was now eager to take a step back and focus on starting a family.
“She feels like he’s using her as a free marketing tool just like everyone else,” they said. ‘The last few months have been an experience, but she really wants to focus on having children after the album comes out. She knows she’s overexposed.’
