NAPLES, January 29, 2026 – The countdown to the Tour of Italy. One hundred days after the start of the 109th edition, scheduled for May 8th from Bulgaria, Naples joins the ’Pink City“ initiative by illuminating the Maschio Angioino, symbol of the city in the world.
The event involves all the cities hosting the 21 stages of the race, united by a symbolic lighting display in homage to the pink jersey. This is Naples' fifth consecutive year of hosting the Giro, a record in modern cycling.
“Naples is the protagonist for the fifth consecutive year, an extraordinary global showcase for our territories”, declared Gaetano Manfredi, Mayor of the Municipality and Metropolitan City of Naples, underlining the international visibility guaranteed by the sporting event followed in over 200 countries.
The sixth stage, Paestum–Naples, is scheduled for May 14th and is the only one in Campania. The 161-kilometer route will pass through the Salerno area and the Naples metropolitan area, finishing on Lungomare Caracciolo.
