Reviews
«The first Italian historical LGBT guide, a palpitant collection of homosexual characters, places and stories,
from the antiquity until now,
made through the museums
and the monuments of five
big cities».
La Repubblica
«Rainbow Italy is a wonderful
book, and I think it’s a very useful guide also for the heterosexuals, because we all know that LGBTQ people always find first the most interesting, pleasant and historically valuable places! A beautiful reading».
Alessandro Cecchi Paone,
journalist, TV host and
science communicator
