    Single parents in Italy: the complete guide

    Everything you need to thrive as a single parent: rights, wellbeing, activities with kids, travel, separation and a community ready to welcome you across Italy.

    Who single parents are in Italy

    Italy has over 2 million single-parent families: single mums, single dads, separated, divorced or widowed parents raising children alone. A growing reality, yet often invisible in public policies and daily social life.

    Being a single parent means facing real challenges — financial, organisational, emotional — but also discovering new strength and a network of people living the same experience. This guide collects GenGle's best resources, organised by topic.

    From maintenance issues to post-separation loneliness, from activities with kids to group trips: each section gathers articles, guides and links to the community for concrete answers and real friendships.
