About this place Antigone - Libreria Lgbtqia+

Antigone is an independent bookshop in Milan dedicated to LGBTQIA+ and feminist books, on Via Antonio Kramer just off Corso Buenos Aires. The stock covers fiction, essays, comics and queer theory, mostly in Italian with some English titles, plus gifts and merchandise. It is well regarded (4.7 from nearly 300 Google reviews), with staff who know the shelves and will recommend. Tricolore metro is the closest stop, and the Porta Venezia area, Milan's main gay district, is a short walk away, so it fits easily into an afternoon there. Check current opening hours before going, as small shops often close at lunch or on Mondays.

"I was not born to share hate, but love." (Sophocles, Antigone) The Antigone bookshop fully lives up to the name of its inspiration: it is an act of rebellion, a hymn to resistance.

An excellent selection of literature on veganism and anti-speciesism, which sets this bookstore apart from others. Freedom concerns everyone, and we're happy to see this awareness on the store's shelves.

I discovered Antigone - Libreria LGBTQIA+ by chance while walking past it, and I immediately wanted to go in. I love browsing in bookstores, taking my time to explore the shelves, and here, it was even more captivating thanks to the selection of books on feminism and the LGBTQIA+ community 🌈. The welcome was warm and friendly. The person there was lovely, and we had a fascinating conversation. I was given time to discover the books at my leisure, without any pressure, in a calm and soothing atmosphere. Everything was clean, tidy, and carefully organized, creating a truly pleasant ambiance. In addition to books, the bookstore offers a variety of charming goodies: flags, keychains, pins, coloring pages, etc. I fell in love with a lesbian flag keychain, and there are three different ones: trans, lesbian, and bi flags. The coloring books are also a real treat; if you enjoy them, you'll love them. I was definitely in my element. Antigone - Libreria LGBTQIA+ may not look like much at first glance, but it's definitely worth a visit. It's a warm, inclusive, and inspiring place that you'll want to return to again and again. Thank you again for the warm welcome.
