This article investigates the multifaceted theoretical orientations and political concerns of, and the urgent need for, queer Italian studies. Critically reflecting on the current social, cultural, political, and economic positions of LGBTQIA+ identified individuals and other minoritised people in Italy, the article maps out diverse but convergent ways of understanding the urgent public and institutional need for interdisciplinary approaches to embodied and theoretical Italian queerness, and the potential impact of this research, activism, and pedagogy. After an exploration into the traces that link queer Italian studies to historical research and feminist history and an elaboration of what a queer Italian pedagogy looks like, this article urges us to look across marginalised publics, so that by using these variegated geopolitical and theoretical positions, languages and praxes, those both inside and outside academia can collectively inform and further the discipline of queer Italian studies.
