In Italy it's very popular and commonly practised the old saying "Vivi e lascia vivere " that's in English "Live and let live". Italian's attitude towards homosexuality is of absolute tolerance unless someone breaks the decency's rules.
Of course also here there are exceptions and a gay or a lesbian might have troubles exactly as hetero, straight people may have everywhere in this world.

Hi, I live in Italy. Well, it depends. You will be staying in Florence which is a large city and used to tourists and seeing a lot of things, so you shouldn't have a problem. I know some Italians who make fun of gays, but at the end they have the mentality of, "if you are an adult and not harming anyone you can do whatever you please". Most Italians could care less if you are gay or not. I've never heard of a gay being killed or anything like that like I did when I was living in the States! =( Like I said before, you will be staying in a large city, so I'm certain there are a lot of gay bars and clubs you can go to. The older folk might stare, but the younger generation probably wouldn't care. Okay, have a nice trip...I'm sure you will love Italia.

Florence is a superb town to pay your holyday; see more with hotelbye . Florence's museums, palaces, and churches house some of the greatest creative treasures in the world. The most popular and important museum in Florence are: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Uffizi, the Bargello and the Accademia. Churches like: Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are veritable art galleries. In Florence you may also start to see the large and varied art variety stored in the Pitti Palace. The Palazzo Pitti (The Pitti Palace) is a big 15th century palace situated on the quieter south bank of the Arno River. The palace was number of years the residence of Florence's rulers until 1919, when it had been given over to the Italian state, which changed the palace right into a memorial complex. Regardless of its metamorphosis, from royal home to a state-owned community creating, the palace however holds the air and environment of a personal collection in a grand house.

Florence center city will be fine... the hinterlands may be a bit traditional. Bologna city is probably tops, Venice isn't a problem and Milan is cool. Many urban centers are very liberal... it's the periphery of the cities where you'll find the small town provincial mentality.

When I visited Italy I noticed there were a lot of LGBT bars and so on, and no-one seems to make any fuss, very similar to my home town (Sydney, Australia).
But I would still suggest that you be discreet unless you are with people you trust ~ announcing you are gay to just anyone could attract trouble, as there are homophobes and idiots everywhere, unfortunately.
Have a great visit, Florence is so beautiful!
Cheers :-)

One of my gay friends says that Italy is one of the most gay friendly cities he has ever been to. He keeps going back. I also heard from other people that rainbow flags, etc are everywhere. I would say that Italians have an open, positive attitude to homosexuality. Have fun! Wish I was going.
