The adoption of two children by a gay couple has been recognised for the first time in Italy by Florence's children's court, a lawyer said on Thursday.
The children were adopted by two Italian gay men in Britain, said Susanna Lollini of the Avvocatura per i Diritti LGBTI association.
The couple has lived abroad for several years but
their families reside in Tuscany. The Florence court ordered the
transcription in Italy of a ruling by a British court, thus
recognising their status as the men's children and their Italian
citizenship.
