Hello everybody! Chief editor Yuki here.
Right now I'm in Milano, Italy following an assignment for work. Outside of TokyoWrestling I work as a freelance writer and PR consultant, and my freelance work is what has brought me to Europe this time.
Because I'm on assignment, it doesn't seem like I'll be able manage excursions for covering the Italian queer scene while I'm here, but I do plan to post information on some queer culture points that I pick up along the way!
Now, when speaking of famous queer figures in Italy, the first person that comes to mind is singer, songwriter and Famed Italian rocker - Gianna Nannini.
Three years ago, until I started this website, I was working as an area manager and PR agent for an Italian fashion brand, which then brought me to Italy 4 or 5 times a year. While in Milano, I'd go out to eat with some of the people I worked with, and - one night - while at Armani/NOBU, the NOBU fusion restaurant in Armani's shop at Via Manzoni 31, she walked in.
A handsome woman wearing a checkered vest on a grey blouse - looking somewhat preppy, somewhat rock - caught my eye. And as I was unconsciously gazing her way, one of my co-workers noticed and said, "Hey, that woman with her is a famous rock star. She's gay too, so I suppose that must be her girlfriend."
Needless to say, the two of them had already registered on my gaydar. And as I was intently devouring what my co-worker was saying, I learned that THAT rocker was none other than Gianna Nannini!!!
I'll have to stop here for tonight, but I'll share more about Nannini in my next post!
