2 June 2021: the Italian Republic is now 75 years old

Republic Day

«Italy is a democratic Republic based on labor. Sovereignty belongs to the population, always within the limits and the methods expressed in the Constitution. »

It is precisely article 1 of the Italian Constitution that solemnly stipulates the result of the referendum occurred on 2 June 1946: Italy is a Republic.

In 2021 we celebrate the 75^th anniversary of the birth of the Italian Republic, which took place precisely on 2^nd June 1946 following the institutional referendum issued to establish the type of Italian government after the end of Second World War.

Between 2^nd and 3^rd June 1946 this referendum, to which for the first time also women were allowed to participate with their vote, put Italians in front of a crossroad: the choice between monarchy or republic.

With a majority of approximately 2 million votes, the republican solution won and starting from the 2^nd June of the following year, Italy has always celebrated this event as a national holiday, considering it a symbol of the fundamental values of our nation: freedom, peace and democracy.

The importance of Made in Italy

During such an important day for Italian citizens and for Italian culture and identity, it is vital to highlight what makes Italy admired for all over the world: the power of those companies that strongly promote and support Made in Italy.

Creativity, craftmanship, raw materials and innovation deeply influence our economy and are aspects for which we are renowned in any other country.
