What changed
This press release announces the official commemorative program of Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani for the 81st anniversary of Liberation Day (Festa della Liberazione) on April 25, 2026. The Minister will visit two memorial sites: the Fosse Ardeatine Mausoleum outside Rome, where he will lay a laurel wreath and observe a minute of silence in memory of the 355 Nazi-Fascist massacre victims, and the Second World War Memorial in Ferentino (Frosinone), commemorating among others Don Giuseppe Morosini, a military chaplain executed at Forte Bravetta on April 3, 1944, and posthumously awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valour.
The commemorative program carries no regulatory or compliance implications for any regulated industry. It reflects Italy's annual tradition of official remembrance for Resistance fighters and victims of Nazi-Fascist occupation. The prior-day tribute to diplomat Francesco Babuscio Rizzo, who saved lives among exiles and the persecuted during the 1943–44 Nazi-Fascist occupation of Rome, is also described as part of the pre-Liberation Day commemorative activities.
