National holiday in Italy on 25 April commemorating the liberation from Nazifascism
Liberation Day, also known as the Anniversary of Italy's Liberation, Anniversary of the Resistance, or simply 25 April is a national holiday in Italy that commemorates the liberation of Italy from Nazi German occupation and from the collaborationist puppet state of the Italian Social Republic, during the final phase of World War II. That is distinct from Republic Day (Italy), which takes place on 2 June and commemorates the 1946 Italian institutional referendum.
