Our civil unions are practically a marriage called with another name( in full Italian style), but the only real difference stays in the right to adopt still inaccessible to same sex couples( not a little difference, I admit). Besides, lesbians have now full access to IVF, and our "Supreme Court"( Court of Cassation) has admitted the so-called stepchild adoption in particular cases such as theirs, so the legal problems are "only" faced by male gay couples who used the surrogacy in a country allowing so( in Italy is forbidden even for straight couples).
I think that a PD lead-govern after 2018 would fully recognize civil unions as marriages and the same sex couples right to adopt...but it's a big IF.
