Villa Castelli Pride

Villa Castelli Pride 2025 — second edition

On Saturday, June 28, 2025, starting at 5:00 PM, the Parco Madre Teresa di Calcutta in Villa Castelli was colored rainbow for the second edition of Villa Castelli Pride, with free admission.

The central theme was family, understood not only as a traditional unit but also as an LGBTQIA+ community, in a day described as a civil battle against all forms of ignorance, intolerance, violence, censorship, and discrimination. The event was organized by Villa Castelli On Line with Salento Pride and the patronage of the Municipality of Villa Castelli, with the support of Libreria Circe, Laboratorio Collettivo, Se Puede Social Cooperative, Collettivo Fluo, ANPI Ceglie Messapica, and ASD Robur.
