“Today we celebrate the 77th anniversary of the birth of the Republic. The values of the choice of 2 June 1946, transfused into the Constitutional Charter whose 75 years of life we remember, continue to guide us on the path of an Italy as an authoritative protagonist in that European Union that we have helped to build. Freedom, equality, solidarity, respect for the rights of individuals and communities are fundamental pillars of our Constitutional Charter”. Lo writes the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarellain a message sent to the Chief of Defense Staff, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.
June 2, Mattarella’s message for Italians abroad
“The values of the Republic and the Constitution inspire the action of the Armed Forces, which contribute significantly to the security framework of our national community and to the cause of peace in the world. The common purpose and the synergy they express with the contingents of other countries, in the context of the missions determined by the international community are crucial elements for the construction of a shared security architecture, the foundation of social stability and collective well-being”.
“The horizon of a truly integrated European defense is the new challenge awaiting the Armed Forces. The recognitions of allies and friendly countries, the esteem and affection of the populations that our soldiers assist, are eloquent proof of the quality of their commitment and credibility gained in peace and security missions at the service of the common good”, writes Mattarella.
With the placing of a laurel wreath at the Altare della Patria by the head of state, Sergio Mattarella, the celebrations for the 77th anniversary of the Republic began. The highest offices were present: the premier Giorgia Meloni, the presidents of the Senate and the Chamber, Ignazio La Russa and Lorenzo Fontana, the defense minister Guido Crosetto, the military and police leaders. Over the Vittoriano, the usual overflight of the national aerobatic team drew a huge Tricolor flag on the capital’s sky. Subsequently, the President of the Republic will review the departments deployed for the review and, subsequently, will attend the military parade at the Imperial Forums. Piazza Venezia is crowded with people who have come to follow the demonstration.
“The national community, the homeland, is ultimately this: a dimension of sacrifices that are made together for those who have done it before us and for us who do it towards others”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on the sidelines of the Republic Day celebrations in Rome. “It is not a simple museum celebration. It is the dimension of the fact that either we understand that, if there are difficulties or if things go well, we only get out of it together, everyone needs to do their part. There is no one who gives it can only solve problems. Understanding that we are all connected is the cultural element needed to understand that we must all row in the same direction,” said the premier.
With the parade of the 300 mayors – wrapped in the tricolor flag – the parade at the Imperial Forums for the Republic Day began. Among the first citizens also those of some of the Romagna municipalities affected by the flood. The review is structured in 10 sectors with the participation of all components of the state: military and civilian personnel, armed and non-armed bodies of the state, flags and banners, military bands and fanfares. A total of 5,500 will parade. The authority stage is crowded as usual: with the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, there are the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the presidents of the Senate and Chamber Ignazio La Russa and Lorenzo Fontana, the ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs, Guido Crosetto and Antonio Tajani.
