Italy is home to a thriving LGBTQ+ community whose history stretches back for centuries. From the ancient Greek and Roman soldiers to the merchants of Venice, the queer beaches of Sicily, to modern day Rome, there’s so much LGBTQ+ history and LGBTQ+ Pride in Italy. Today, almost all of the major cities and destinations in Italy celebrate their local LGBTQ+ gay community with gay Pride events and festivals.
