Italy's Liberation Day (Festa della Liberazione), also known as the Anniversary of the Liberation
(Anniversario della liberazione d'Italia), Anniversary of the Resistance (anniversario della Resistenza), or
simply April 25 is a national Italian holiday commemorating the end of the second world war and the end of
Nazi occupation of the country. On May 27, 1949, bill 260 made the anniversary a permanent, annual national
holiday.
Festa della Repubblica (in English, Republic Day) is the Italian National Day and Republic Day, which is
celebrated on 2 June each year. The day commemorates the institutional referendum held by universal suffrage
in 1946, in which the Italian people were called to the polls to decide on the form of government, following
the Second World War and the fall of Fascism.
