Over forty floats, at least thirty thousand people: the 31st edition of Roma Pride, the march of pride and rights of the LGBTQ+ community that will cross the center of the capital, will start from Piazza della Repubblica. The godmother of the event will be the multi-platinum pop star Rose Villain , who at the last Sanremo festival sang Fuorilegge, a song that the event has adopted as its anthem for 2025. “Because the institutions do not recognize us and do not protect us,” they say from Roma Pride. “And a right denied to someone is a right denied to everyone,” adds the singer.

Among them, in addition to the mayor Roberto Gualtieri, the councilors for School and Tourism, respectively Claudia Pratelli and Alessandro Onorato and the presidents of the Municipality Amedeo Ciaccheri, Gianluca Lanzi and Elio Tomassetti. With them also the secretary of the Cgil Rome and Lazio, Natale Di Cola.
