About LGBTQ+ Verona

Italy recognized same-sex civil unions in 2016 but still does not allow same-sex marriage. Verona, the romantic city of Romeo and Juliet in the Veneto, has a small but welcoming gay scene that belies its fame.

The main gay area sits in the historic center near Piazza Bra and the Roman Arena, where Lucla Café, the city's one dedicated gay bar, anchors daytime and evening life.
