On June 2, Italians celebrate Italian National Day — the birthday of the new system of public administration.
In 1946, the Italian population (including women for the first time) took part in elections to vote for the Republic. This meant rejecting the monarchy, changing the system of government to a republican one and electing members of the Assembly, which would create a new Italian constitution (approved in 1948).
