Here we go, it’s the day. The Italian Republic is 80. An important birthday that falls at an important moment in the history of the world. First of all, President Mattarella, who in addition to the usual liturgies of June 2, from the receptions to the rite of the Altar of the Homeland to the historic parade of military forces at the Imperial Forums, will celebrate a great feast of the square.
Right in the square of the Quirinale, where free of charge men and women of the Italian show and sport will go on stage. It will be a feast of square, but in the most symbolic square of Italy, open to all citizens. They are the recipients of the party and together the protagonists.
Yes, because the red thread of this eightyth is precisely democracy. Its value and its values, its conquered, matured, defended, its existence today in a world, we repeat it, where the will of power of war seems to be the only language.
Then dear Italians give a true value to what you have, this is the sense of Mattarella’s message. And you Italians, and will do it the award-winning Cortellesi on stage, remember also with that date of 80 years ago the conquest of the vote.
It is a high theme that of this birthday that goes beyond the current political debate, of the electoral campaign already begun, of discussions on the economy, Europe, the new electoral law, the right and the left. There would be no passion and no debate, without the context that allows it.
The West passes through a complex phase with turbulence and new balances. But in the storm the compass must be firm and President Mattarella remains the compass of the Italians. Materially but also symbolically the Quirinale opens its history and beauty to all.
It comes out, it is visible not through rituals and dinners reserved even if institutional, but it opens to everyone. Each monad and shareholder aware of the most important good: being part of a democracy.
Good holiday then dear Italian Republic.
