Italy commemorated its Republic Day on Sunday, marking the 77th anniversary of the transition from a monarchy to a republic. The day is celebrated with parades, concerts, and ceremonies, and is a time for family gatherings and festivities. The history of Republic Day dates back to 1946 when an institutional referendum was held to decide the nation’s future after World War II. The Italian people voted in favor of a republic and the monarchy was abolished. In 1947, the first Republic Day was celebrated in Rome, and the tradition has continued ever since.
