Happy Birthday Italy

Today Italy celebrates its 150th birthday. 

Italian FlagOn March 17th 1861 the Sardinian Kingdom Parliament approved the (re)birth of the Kingdom of Italy and proclaimed Vittorio Emanuele II King of Italy. The Capital was still in Turin, it would then be moved to Florence and later on to Rome which was finally conquered in 1870.

Italy’s history has a lot to do (and still has a lot to do) with individualism and fragmentation. Culturally however, Italy had already found its unity from the Renaissance. And probably following its latin heritage somehow this “boot” in the middle of the Mediterranean always kept its identity somehow.

Google Doodle for the 150th Italian Unity AnniversaryThe final Unity of the country was eventually achieved after World War I (which for Italy takes the spirit of the last independence war, as its main aim was to re-conquer the last pieces which where still under Austrian control: Trentino and Venezia Giulia). 

Of course, these 150 years were not easy. The Savoia Family handled with a lot of violence the resistance of the old establishment in the Southern part of Italy, leading to a real massacre of more than 20,000 “briganti”. The WW1 experience led to the formation fo the first fascist regime, and to the devastation of the WW2. The Republic born after the war has never been really strong, and especially in the last years we assist in more and more political fragmentation.

However you put it, there’s one thing you can always say. You recognize an Italian when he’s abroad. And at the end it is this Italian Spirit that today we shall celebrate. Together with our cultural heritage, our music, our language, our food, our beautiful country.

Happy Birthday Italy.
