Italy Republic Day 2021

Google Dooles 02.06.2021 06:45  Date: June 2, 2021 Today’s Doodle celebrates Italy’s 75th Republic Day, or Festa della Repubblica as it is known locally. On this day in 1946, Italians voted in a referendum that formed the great nation into a republic. Ceremonies begin with the laying of a laurel wreath atop the Tomb of Unknown Soldier in the Altare della Patria . Also known as the Vittoriano, this massive white marble monument stands at the symbolic center of ancient Rome as a representative of Italian unity and identity. To express national pride, a giant Italian flag is mounted on the Roman Colosseum, the world’s largest surviving ancient amphitheater. The Italian flag is depicted in today’s Doodle and features three vertical stripes of red, white, and green, earning its nickname as the tricolore. Buona Festa della Repubblica, Italia!
