June 2 marks the Festa della Repubblica – Festival of the Republic or Republic Day – in Italy.

A national holiday
For all practical purposes, this is a government holiday.  Post offices and banks will be closed, but many stores, shops, restaurants will be open.  There may be a parade in some of the larger cities (see below). 

The day commemorates a 1946 referendum in which the Italian people voted to decide their form of government — monarchy or republic.  On that day Italy was declared a republic and after 85 years of reign the monarchy ended, and the members of the House of Savoy were exiled.

To celebrate the Festa della Repubblica, a grand military parade is held in central Rome.  It is presided by the President of the Republic and in attendance will be the Prime Minister, and many other public officials.
