2 June 1946 – 2026: we

are the RepublicEighty years ago we chose democracy.
Today, that choice lives in the protection of rights and in respect of the duties enshrined in the Constitution.
The centrality of the person and social justice are the legacy that we pass on to the new generations to build a fairer Italy.

For a future of cohesion and progress, in the name of Freedom, Equality and Solidarity
