Today, 25 Aprile, is celebrated as a national holiday:
Festa della Liberazione, as all the many posters say.

Our routine remains the same: Cappuccino at the Cioccolateria.
Then, since good weather holds, we climb the hills and circle the Rocca.

The only change: we adjust our schedule to arrive on Italian time
At Piazza della Libertà, the site of today’s town ceremony.
