About LGBTQ+ Turin
Italy recognized same-sex civil unions in 2016, and Turin has been at the forefront of the country's LGBTQ+ history since 1971, when FUORI, Italy's first gay liberation movement, was founded here. The elegant former royal capital and cradle of Italian industry remains one of the nation's most gay-friendly cities.
The scene centers on the streets around Via Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, dotted with gay bars, clubs, and saunas, anchored by long-running venues like Centralino and its legendary weekly parties. Turin's grand arcades, aperitivo culture, and cafe life give the nightlife an easy, sophisticated rhythm.
