Tralaltro is Padua's Arcigay branch, active since 1997, and it keeps a room on Corso Garibaldi rather than working only online. It describes itself as a space for community, rights and culture.
The groups meet in person and are split by who they are for. There is one for people aged 18 to 30, a millennial group, a senior group for the over-fifties, Fetish Social Padua, a creative crafts group called Tral'Arte, Polispritz Queer for people in non-monogamous relationships, and L'Altrove for gaming, anime and manga.
Alongside the groups it runs services: a centre for people who have met discrimination or violence, the Healthy Peers sexual health programme, and psychological counselling. It publishes La Checcartina, its own guide to queer places and services in and around the city, and it organises Padova Pride.
For a visitor it is the place to ask what is on while you are in town.
