Dear friends, near and far,
On Friday, 15 May 2026, 18:30 we come together at Piazza del Popolo, behind the Neptune fountain for a small celebration surrounded by roses 🌹🌹🌹blooming in magnificent splendour.
Seven years ago, this began with a single rose 🌹and a simple dream: that together, we could add a little more beauty to Rome. Today, more than 150 roses bloom 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹because of you.
Each rose 🌹carries the presence of someone who chose to leave a small act of beauty behind — a passerby who paused for a moment, a visitor discovering Rome, a diplomat leaving a living memory in the city, a Roman who embraced this garden with care, two homeless friends who planted roses beside us, or someone following our journey from afar. Different lives, different paths, different stories, all growing together in harmony.
Many of you became loyal friends and part of the heart of our association, Una Rosa per Roma.
And while some of you will be with us in person, many others continue to celebrate with us in spirit. Distance never diminishes the love ♥️and connection that help this garden continue to grow.
Here, we are united in colour, race, beliefs, and beauty — brought together by a shared love for Rome the eternal city and by the simple gesture of planting a rose.🌹
Every bloom tells a story of kindness, friendship, and hope, reminding us that even the smallest gesture can transform a place and bring people together.
Thank you for helping this garden flourish.❣️
We would be so happy to celebrate with you.
