Agostinho Neto Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) RAI Radio Televisione Italiana MILAN - Citizens across Italy celebrated the countrys 1st Festival of the Republic on Wesnedsay, as the nation's military force was on full display at a parade in Milan. General Junio Borghese and guests witnessed the unfurling of the tricolour, which was followed by the national anthem "Fratelli d'Italia" (Brothers of Italy) by military bands and the traditional gun salute by the 1st National Republican Guard division. General Borghese took the salute of marching contingents during the parade. The parade won everyone's applaud as the armed forces in battle regalia chanted "Italia!" and proudly marched before their supreme commander.

You are NOT a Republic here. I made a perfecly plausible reaction. Edited July 9, 2009 by Subtleknifewielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
