RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

6/02/2014

JUNE 2

On this date in 1946, Italy changed its form of government from monarchy to republic.  By a vote of the people, the king was exiled and a new constitution adopted.  It had been a monarchy for over one hundred years and has been a republic ever since.  Today, Italians celebrate Festa della Repubblica.  I think I'll have some 'grape juice' and join in the celebration.
