La Festa della Liberazione

I felt a bit of Italian patriotism today as Jean and I observed Liberation Day here:

Celebrated on April 25th, it commemorates the liberation of Italy by Allied troops in the Second World War. After Italy surrendered, Nazi Germany considered it as a new enemy and intensified the anti-partisan operations against Italian freedom fighters (Resistenza partigiana). The holiday is meant to honor all those who died during the war. The lives of those who served as partisans in the Italian Resistance are especially honored.

Moussolini declared all Italians facists. We all know they just wanted to ride on Vespa's and go "Ciao".
