Tutto quello che vale la pena sapere prima di partire.
Bologna is Italy's most LGBTQ+-friendly city per capita. The Cassero LGBTQ+ Center — founded in 1982 inside a medieval city gate, now one of Europe's oldest continuously operating queer venues — anchors a scene that punches far above the city's 400,000 population. The city's centuries-old university and deep left-wing political tradition ("La Rossa") have produced a social atmosphere more tolerant and more engaged than anywhere else in Italy outside Milan or Rome. Bologna Pride draws crowds from across Emilia-Romagna every June. The Via del Pratello, the city's bohemian street, mixes political bars, LGBT+ venues and the kind of lived-in queer culture that usually takes decades to develop.
