Rome to host Pride parade on 15 June.

Rome has unveiled a subway train decorated with rainbow colours to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community ahead of the Roma Pride parade this weekend.

The city's public transport company ATAC said the train, which will run on the Metro A line for four months, is intended to "celebrate the values of inclusion in Gay Pride week".
