About this place IGOR Libreria - Commissionaria Internazionale

IGOR Libreria is a queer bookshop in Bologna's centro storico, on Via Santa Croce near Porta San Felice. It is one of the few dedicated LGBTQ+ bookstores left in Italy. It stocks queer fiction, essays, comics and some English-language titles, and hosts book presentations and small community gatherings. The premises are shared with other small projects, so it feels more like a neighbourhood space than a shop. This is a daytime cultural stop rather than nightlife. Bologna is one of Italy's most queer-friendly cities, and Cassero, the city's main LGBTQ+ centre, is not far away for evening events. Opening hours are short and can change, so check before walking over.

Wonderful queer bookstore/flower shop in the center of Bologna. I'm absolutely in love with it. The place is delightful and charming, and their book selection is truly remarkable. The staff is also the most adorable and attentive. I'd move here. Stop by!
