We end our day with a typical Italian aperitif in Porta Venezia, the city’s main gayborhood.

Visit of Cascate del Serio (waterfalls). Here is when in the movie the two protagonists run, while “Mystery of love” song by Sufjan Stevenson plays, a slope at the base of a waterfall screaming.

Bergamo is positioned North of Milan. The oldest area is called ‘Città Alta’ (High City). It is originally a Roman town, characterized by paved streets leading to the Duomo. It is surrounded by Venetian walls and it can be easily reached by a funicular. Here the Romanic Basilica and the huge Colleoni Chapel with Tiepolo frescoes worth the visit. Visit the movie settings (Rosate Square, Duomo Square, and Natural Science University).

Venice has been one of the first ‘gay friendly’ towns in the 18th century: as a powerful port on the Eastern Routes, with rich merchants and noble families, Venice has long been associated to romance, to Casanova’s love stories and to the transgressive Cafè Florian. Not forgetting the ‘ Death in Venice’ novel, by Thomas Mann, who lived a difficult romance with a Venetian young man.
