O my country, I see the walls and arches and columns and

Among the knees, and weeps.
Weep, whence you that well, my Italy,

And the auspicious destiny and in the estuary.

Wait, Italy, wait. I see, and Parma,
A fluttering of soldiers and horses,

Giacomo Leopardi, Italy
because perhaps never before in these tragic days, the Italians should learn to be a bit 'more patriotic. Today I've read many opinions of people on this day and I admit that some are deeply disappointed. I believe that you have no post for remember that today is the feast of ordinary people like us, as our grandparents, the poor people with nothing who fought to create a home that we are mistreated. Today is the feast of the things that do not go to Italy, today is the feast that remembers those who fought with pride because Italy was a unique and free.
