President Sergio Mattarella said
Wednesday that April 25, Liberation Day, was Italy's second
Risorgimento.
"Let young people take on board the Constitutional values,"
he said on the eve of the anniversary of Italy's liberation from
fascism by the Allies.
"The April 25 celebration stimulates us to reflect on how our
country succeeded in rising up again after the tragedy of the
second world war.
"A real second Risorgimento", he told WWII Resistance
fighters associations.
Mattarella said the partisan and fighter associations were "a
warning against biased rewritings of history."
