Liberation Day

Italy's Liberation Day (Festa della Liberazione), also known as the Anniversary of the Liberation (Anniversario della liberazione d'Italia), Anniversary of the Resistance (anniversario della Resistenza), or simply April 25 is a national Italian holiday commemorating the end of the Italian Civil War and the end of Nazi occupation of the country during World War II.


In the evening, the Liberation Day parade marched along via Pietro Micca toward piazza Castello with people holding a torch in their hand. In particular, this old couple caught my attention. 


Also these cardboard pigeons are kind of cute. 



And the crowd....
