Golden Gala is an annual track and field event normally held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy. Previously one of the IAAF Golden League events, it is now part of the Diamond League. Following the 2013 death of Italian sprinting legend Pietro Mennea, the organizers added his name to the title of the meet.
The 2021 and 2023 events were temporarily relocated to Florence.
