Is italy trans friendly

As someone travelling to or moving to Italy, you might be wondering, is existence gay in Italy acceptable? If so, what’re the safest and best queer cities in Italy to live in or visit?

Italy is home to some of the best food in the world: regional specialties, fine seasonal delicacies, terrific desserts and drinks.
