The Rainbow Center is a multipurpose LGBT+ centre in Via Antonio Genovesi, run by the Naples association i Ken. It opened in May 2017 in a building confiscated from organised crime and handed over to social use, which is the part of the story people here tell first.
The centre carries several projects at once. There is housing for young LGBT+ people who have lost theirs, an anti-violence line, work and language support, and the rehearsals of corAcor, the Napoli Rainbow Choir. Cultural evenings and community events are open to anyone.
It is east of the centre, well away from the bars of the old town, so it is a deliberate trip rather than somewhere you pass.
