The Best Pride Events in Rome, Past and Present
IN ROME? SHOW YOUR PRIDE!
It may come as a surprise to some, but Rome is no stranger to Pride. The inaugural Gay Pride first took place in June of 1994, and while the development has been a relatively slow process, Event and the general Diverse scene in the metropolis continues progress and grow. Rome is a capital of many facets. And so, despite being house to The Vatican and generally firmly held religious beliefs, the Eternal Town also puts on an incredible Pride celebration each year in June. Rome Pride offers a spirited parade and plenty of festive celebrations in the city. While the LGBTQI+ scene in Rome may not be as robust as the one set up in other awesome Italian cities such as Milan, you are guaranteed to experience a colourful side of Rome this June.
The very first WorldPride took place in Rome in 2000, with a week-long festival that attracted a host of gay activists from roughly 40 countries. An estimated 70,000 marchers participated in the rally, setting a precedent for the many WorldPrides to follow. Rome Pride again achieved a claim to fame in 2011, when EuroPride hosted its annual celebration in the Immortal Ci

The LLOG post on "Frociaggine" (6/8/2024) quoted the two glosses for frocio in Wiktionary:
- (vulgar, derogatory, outgroup) gay male, poof, faggot
- (friendly, ingroup) queer person, especially a lgbtq+ man
The "friendly, ingroup" version may be reinforced by last weekend's Il Roma Pride— Emma Bubola, "Italians Respond to Pope’s Slur by Taking Francis to Pride", NYT 6/16/2024:
At Saturday’s celebration in Rome, Pope Francis’ image was on cardboard cutouts adorned with flower necklaces. People came dressed as the pope, wore papal hats and said that there was never too much “gayness.”
At Rome’s Pride celebration, bare-chested men in pink angel wings danced to Abba songs, women wrapped in rainbow flags kissed, and shimmering drag queens waved from parade floats. And then there was Pope Francis.
The pontiff’s image was everywhere. On cardboard cutouts adorned with flower necklaces, on glittery banners, on stickers. Romans came to the Pride parade on Saturday dressed like Francis, wearing papal hats and T-shirts that read, “There is never too much frociaggine,” a reference to an offensive slur against gay men that the pope
“We Shine Infinitely”: Rome Event Was a Constellation of Queerness
For Pride Month, even Rome transforms. Forget the classical atmosphere, the cult of ruins, and the aura of gladiators. Gender non-conforming Rome reveals a strange, almost lunar beauty. During the parade on June 14th—which, according to the organizers from Circolo Mario Mieli, brought a million people into the streets—the city was crossed by thousands of bodies in motion, each with its own language, rhythm, and aesthetic.
Rome shimmered: “Infinitamente brilliamo” (“We shine infinitely”) was the slogan chosen by Cosmopolitan magazine, which presented a float covered in illustrations by artist Flaminia Veronesi—an invitation to be light, a map where each person, with their utopias and visual imaginaries, becomes a constellation to navigate through dark times. “The first step to changing the world is to play with imagination,” Veronesi often says. For her, the joy of mixing different elements becomes a way to generate new stories and fantasize alternative realities. The float she designed evokes an inclusive, open universe—where every identity can shine in its own uniqueness, just as every star finds its place in the sky
