italian national day

...was yesterday. On my walk to work I passed the normal ruins:
and then what appeared to be the attendance of every military personnel in all of Italy, waiting for the parade to begin. 
I never actually saw the parade (I was working, I swear), but I heard what sounded like B52 Bombers fly over FAO several times. Most Italians took the day off, and most shops, bakeries and restos were closed. Italian National day is apparently the celebration of the choice of republic over monarchy for the country.
