Saturday, June 7, 2025, the streets of Turin will be filled with rainbow colors for the Torino Pride, the annual march for the rights of LGBTQIA+ people. This year, the parade will start at 4:30 PM from Corso Principe Eugenio, making its way through the heart of the city to Piazza Vittorio Veneto, where final speeches will take place on stage.
The theme chosen for the 2025 edition is “Senza esclusione di corpi” (meaning “No Body Left Out”), a powerful and inclusive message highlighting the importance of ensuring participation for everyone, regardless of their physical or sensory conditions.
In this spirit, City Sightseeing Torino will provide its iconic red double-decker bus to lead the parade, offering a ride to people with motor difficulties. The accessible bus, equipped with seating, will allow everyone to experience the excitement of Pride without barriers.
In addition to the bus, the event will feature:
- Decompression areas along the route and near the stage for those who need calmer spaces.
- LIS (Italian Sign Language) interpretation to make the stage speeches accessible.
- Sensory relief stations, in collaboration with the Mai Ultimi collective.
- GTT shuttle service to return participants to the starting point.
City Sightseeing Italy is proud not only to physically lead the parade with its bus but also to contribute to making Pride an accessible event for everyone.
BigMama: A Powerful Voice and a Symbol of Pride
This year’s Pride godmother will be BigMama, a rapper and singer-songwriter from the province of Avellino. Born in 2000, BigMama is one of the most powerful voices in the Italian music scene and an icon of queer activism. Her presence on the Piazza Vittorio stage sends a message of strength, inclusion, and pride to the entire community.
The June 7 parade will be the heart of Torino Pride 2025, but it won’t be the only highlight. In the days before and after the event, talks, exhibitions, and initiatives will take place across the city, offering opportunities to learn more about the history and struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community. After the parade, the official Pride afterparty will be held at Centralino, a historic venue in Turin.
“We want Pride to truly be for everyone,” says Luca Minici, coordinator of Torino Pride. “That’s why we work every year to make it accessible, welcoming, and filled with moments where people can feel seen, moved, and involved. The City Sightseeing Torino bus is a tangible part of that commitment.”
