In this scenario, the city plays an active role as a political space capable of legitimizing unprecedented models of urban citizenship. Based on the main results of an empirical Italian research and using a micro-sociological perspective, the paper aims to identify four models of urban  citizenship experienced by same-sex parents families. In fact, Italian same-sex parents and their children live a condition of partial citizenship at the national level, which is partially counterbalanced by a new urban morphology in which peculiar participatory practices, constructions of a sense of belonging and levels of access to rights and responsibilities take shape.
