Celebrate Italian Liberation Day

Recently updated on January 14th, 2020 at 01:24 pm

Celebrated throughout the whole of Italy each year, Italian Liberation Day remembers 25 April 1945, which was the day the German-Fascist rule ended in Italy.

 To mark this date, during the day cities all over Italy will be overflowing with parades, important speeches and ceremonies, which will honour the revolution of partigiani and various other anti-fascist groups that helped collapse the Mussolini regime.

Of course the celebrations will be the biggest and best in Italy’s capital, Rome. Even the President himself will make a visit to the Ardeatine Caves Mausoleum in Rome, which is where it will certainly never be forgotten that the Nazis massacred 335 Romans in 1944. The rest of Rome will host various events throughout the day, so look out for posters and crowds as you explore the city.

Wherever you are in Italy, you’re sure to run into some entertaining yet still very poignant celebrations, which will surely become a highlight of your trip to Italy.
