The Grande Partenza of the 108th Giro d’Italia from Albania on May 9 is now just 100 days away. To mark the occasion, the 38 host cities of the 21 stages of the race have joined the “Italia in Rosa” initiative, organized by RCS Sports & Events, by lighting up their most iconic landmarks in the color of the jersey every rider dreams of wearing.
From Albania to the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Rome: from the trulli of Alberobello to the Navy Headquarters in Naples; from Piazza del Campo to the Leaning Tower of Pisa; from the ski slopes of Bormio, which will host the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics,to the Tree of Life in Sestriere. Cities, communities, and people have united under the sign of pink color, creating a stunning and meaningful spectacle.
Questi, tappa per tappa, sono i luoghi che si sono illuminati di Rosa:
