The 2025 Giro d'Italia will pay tribute to Pope Francis with the last stage starting from the Vatican, outside the Porta del Perugino gate in St.

Peter's Square, organizers said on Tuesday.
    "Rome is a special setting, an open-air museum, and this year it will have something extra," said Urbano Cairo, the president of the RCS media group that organizes cycling's second-biggest stage race.
    "The stage will start from Vatican City.
    "It will be an important moment, especially with the recent death of Pope Francis.
    "It will be a great final stage totally dedicated to the pontiff".
