Like Portugal, Italy also celebrates its freedom day on April 25. However, the Italian anniversary is almost three decades before the Carnation Revolution and marks the triumph over Nazism in 1945, at the end of World War II.
On Thursday, thousands of Italians took to the streets to celebrate their liberation from Nazi occupation and the fascist regime with marches and demonstrations.
The celebrations began with a solemn ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier in Rome, which was presided over by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. According to the news agency The Associated Press (AP), part of the day's demonstrations were motivated precisely by the fact that the leader belongs to the Brothers of Italy party, with roots in the neo-fascist movement that emerged after the fall of dictator Benito Mussolini.
There were also marches, demonstrations and some clashes between police and pro-Palestinian groups, who took advantage of the day of liberation to demonstrate against the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
It should be noted that, although the war in Italy did not end on April 25, 1945, this was the date chosen to mark the "liberation", as it was on that day that the withdrawal of Nazi German soldiers and fascist soldiers from the 'Republic of Salò', a puppet state created in the last years of the war in the north of the country, at a time when the Allies already occupied a large part of Italian territory, began in the cities of Milan and Turin.
By decision of dictator Benito Mussolini, Italy became involved in World War II alongside the Germans, but four years after the start of the conflict, on September 8, 1943, Italy signed an armistice with the Allies, dividing the country in two: in the south the English and American forces were established, while the north was occupied by German troops.
King Victor Emmanuel III took refuge in the Apulia region (south), while Mussolini fled to Germany.
