A delegation from the "United States of the World" and the “Fondazione Mediterraneo” took part in the celebrations marking the "80th anniversary of the election of the Constituent Assembly and the granting of the right to vote to women".
Organised by the Presidents of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, the event was attended by the highest-ranking state officials, members of parliament and observers.
The Chamber of Deputies gave President Mattarella a long round of applause. Everyone then stood as the choir and orchestra of the Opera House performed Mameli’s national anthem.
“In his inaugural address to the Constituent Assembly on 25 September 1945, Carlo Sforza paid tribute to the memory of the martyrs murdered by fascism – Matteotti, Amendola, Don Minzoni, Gramsci, Carlo and Nello Rosselli – concluding that Italy’s future lay in aligning its interests with those of a peaceful and united Europe,” said the President of the Republic.
This passage was met with thunderous applause.
Secretary-General Michele Capasso emphasised the symbolic significance of the commemoration, expressing the hope that it might prompt political leaders to push for the establishment of the "United States of Europe".
