1946年6月2日、イタリアは国民投票により王制に代わって共和制を政体とすることを決定しましたが、これを「1946年王政廃止に関するイタリアの国民投票」と言います。ベニート・ムッソリーニ率いるファシスト政権が連合軍に降伏し、臨時政府・国民解放委員会（CLN）が発足しましたが、CLNに参加した諸党はファシスト政権の清算に取り組みました。王制廃止と王制存続で支持が分かれ、結局、国民投票により、1861年3月17日のリソルジメントによって成立したイタリア王国は崩壊し、民主共和制国家のイタリア共和国が成立しました。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1566: Festa della Repubblica (Republic Day of Italy)🇮🇹
Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti captured from ISS Italian Peninsula on the Festa della Repubblica (Italy Republic Day).
Festa della Repubblica is the Italian National Day and Republic Day, which is celebrated on June 2 each year, with the main celebration taking place in Rome. The Festa della Repubblica is one of the national symbols of Italy. The day commemorates the institutional referendum held by universal suffrage in 1946, in which the Italian people were called to the polls to decide on the form of government following the Second World War and the fall of Fascism. The ceremony of the event, organized in Rome, includes the deposition of a laurel wreath as a tribute to the Italian Unknown Soldier at the Altare della Patria by the President of the Italian Republic and a military parade along Via dei Fori Imperiali in Rome. On June 2 and 3, 1946, an institutional referendum was held with which the Italians were called to the polls to decide which form of state – monarchy or republic – to give to the country.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
