Florence gay friendly in history

Since the Renaissance, Florence has been a city where the right to self-determination has always been guaranteed, especially in relational and sexual matters. If it is true, for example, that for some centuries certain discriminatory measures were enforced, it is equally true that the Medici court exalted Platonic love and the close relationship between master and disciple.

There were many historical figures who reveled in their passions, such as Marsilio Ficino, and the poet Giovanni Cavalcanti, or Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Poliziano (before) and Girolamo Benivieni (after), together with whom he was entombed inside Santa Maria Novella.
One specific historical fact emphasizes this aspect of Florence above all others. On August 13, 1512 thirty young men belonging to the Florentine aristocracy, known as “i compagnacci”, burst into Palazzo Vecchio, demanding that the rules that provided for the exile and the loss of all property for “sodomites” be abrogated. Their request was granted just one month later.
