To our U.S. students: Happy (almost) 4th of July! Curious about when Italy’s independ-ence day celebration occurs? In Italy, this day is known as Liberation Day (Festa della Liberazione). It is also known as the Anniversary of the Liberation (Anniversario della lib-erazione d'Italia), Anniversary of the Resistance (anniversario della Resistenza), or simp-ly April 25. This national Italian holiday commemorates the end of the Italian Civil War and the end of Nazi occupation of the country during World War II.
The liberation put an end to twenty years of fascist dictatorship and five years of war. It symbolically represents the beginning of the historical journey which led to the referen-dum of June 2, 1946, when Italians opted for an end to the monarchy and the creation of the Italian Republic, which was followed by the adoption of the republic's Constitution of Italy in 1948.
How do Italians celebrate Festa della Liberazioine? Most of the country shuts down so Italians can attend parades, concerts, demonstrations, speeches and ceremonies honor-ing those who lost their lives at the hands of the Nazis, particularly the Resistance fight-ers. Bella Ciao, a popular song to commemorate the Italian Resistance, can be heard throughout Italy on this day.
