Overview

Florence has a special place in the International history and development of Gays life and culture, Since the Middle Ages, though controlled by a specific Police Force, the Tuscan town proved to be open minded and tolerant, compared with the rest of Europe.
During our walking tour, we will see how a very high percentage of men was involved in the activity of sodomy , included the Medici male members and the different kind of punishements used for the guilty and the means to fight that crime.
