Cammina in Rosa

The Department of Sports and the Department of Equal Opportunities of the Municipality of Monopoli, with the support of the Smile Puglia ETS Association, are promoting the “Camminata in Rosa” (Walking in Pink), scheduled for Sunday, March 8, 2026, starting at 10:00 AM from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.

This initiative, organized in celebration of International Women’s Day, represents a moment of sharing and collective participation through a walk open to the public as a tool for aggregation, solidarity, and psycho-physical well-being dedicated to prevention. The Italian League Against Cancer (LILT) and CFU-Italy ODV will be present with their informational booths.

The press conference for the presentation will take place on Monday, February 23, 2026, at 11:30 AM in the Council Chamber of the Municipality. Mayor Angelo Annese, Councillors Vincenzo Laneve and Antonella Fiume, and representatives of the involved associations and institutions will speak.

The route will start from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, continuing toward Castello Carlo V and the Cathedral, crossing the characteristic streets of the historic center until reaching the beach of Porto Rosso.

The event's godmother will be Nathalie Caldonazzo, who will participate in the event along with the attendees.

The first 1,000 participants will receive pink t-shirts with the slogan “Camminata in Rosa,” symbol of the initiative, to create a uniform image and convey a strong message of unity and solidarity.

The t-shirts will be distributed on the morning of the event starting at 9:00 AM at the gazebo of the Smile Puglia ETS Association set up in the square.

In case the t-shirts run out, participation in the initiative will still be possible, preferably wearing a pink shirt to ensure color uniformity in the parade.

The Municipal Administration invites all associations and citizens to participate in this moment of sport, sharing, and awareness.
