Pride - Rome, Italy

Rome Pride runs a full month of programming before the march itself closes it out, past the Colosseum and along roads that have carried processions for considerably longer than this one. The most recent edition — the thirty-second — ran under the theme "La Repubblica è di chi la abita," the Republic belongs to those who live in it, marking eighty years of the Italian Republic, and closed with a Saturday march from Piazza della Repubblica through Piazza dei Cinquecento and via Cavour, past the Colosseum, ending at the Terme di Caracalla. The traffic argument alone makes it worth planning around rather than through.
