April 25-Liberation Day in Rome

Posted by on

I am trying to plan a week in Rome at the end of April. I would like to know what events and celebrations might be in the works for the days around the 25th of April (the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII in Italy). It is perplexing that these relatively short term plans do not get widely disseminated until just a few weeks before the event. I have contacted some of the possible groups and participants but no one seems to know anything (and they are not surprised).
I am fluent in Italian and therefore would have little difficulty making my question is known if I could just figure out who the pose the questions to.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance!

Liberation for some; defeat for others. WW2 in Italy was fraught with divided loyalties. While ending the war must have been a relief for all, what went before may not be remembered with 100% celebrationn.

and they are not surprised).

It's February 5 and they always do the same couple of things. Flowers in Piazza Venezia Square on the 25th, a big concert on May 1. What should they be surprised by?

defeat for others.

Yes the idea is to celebrate the defeat of those who sold Italian kids to the SS and loaded them on the trains to Auschwitz as if they were animals to the slaughterhouse.
