Everything will revolve around the multiethnic Esquilino district where the much talked about Europride Park will be set up.
The event will be inaugurated with a gala night at the famous Sistina Theatre.
More than a million of people are expected to arrive in Rome to take part in this important event which will feature, among other things, art exhibitions at the palazzo dell’Esibizioni, plays at the Eliseo theatre and a series of concerts at the Brancaccio in the heart of Rome.
