LGBTQIA+ rights advocacy and Pride events have been organized across various Italian regions. In mid-September, the third Villa Castelli Pride was held at Parco Madre Teresa di Calcutta to advocate for civil rights and community safety, emphasizing the need for an “intersectional approach” to defend rights.

By late September, the Onda Pride 2026 national mobilization expanded these efforts through regional marches. Notable events included the Aosta Pride, which drew over 3,000 participants, and a march in Ostia where organizers requested a permanent community space from the local municipality. Further activities were scheduled for the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in Udine.
