Torino a history of inclusivity

Torino a history of inclusivity

The City of Torino has a history of openness, inclusiveness and progress. These values are rooted in our culture and institutions. We are a city that has seen the birth of the movement and a great development in the field of LGBTQIA+ rights in recent years, with important steps forward in the fight against discrimination and the affirmation of gender equality.


The timeline of our City's history:


- The first Italian gay rights movement (F.U.O.R.I.) was born in Torino in 1971.
- In 1986, Ottavio Mai and Giovanni Minerba founded the international queer-themed film festival ‘From Sodom to Hollywood’, the longest running in Europe and one of the most important in the world.
- In 2001, the City of Torino established a specific office for LGBTQIA+ issues, the first in Italy.
- Plans are underway to open the first LGBTQIA+ Museum in Italy in Torino.
- In 2018, the Mayor of Torino registered the birth certificates of the children of three same-sex couples at the civil registry office. This is the first time in Italy that a mayor has made this choice (and taken the risk) without a court order.
- In 2011, Torino hosted the 15th annual conference of ILGA Europe, attended by 250 delegates.
- In 2019, ToHousing opens in Torino. It is a social co-housing specifically dedicated to LGBTQIA+ people in difficulty and extremely vulnerable. To date, it is the largest of its kind in Italy.
- In response to some needs of the LGBTQIA+ population, CasArcobaleno was founded in Torino in 2014.
- In 2022 Torino hosted the 29th EPOA General Assembly, which was attended by 170 delegates from all over Europe and North Africa.


In November 2024, Coordinamento Torino Pride won the bid to host EuroPride 2027.
