During the celebration, thousands of soldiers from different regiments and branches of the Italian Armed Forces participated in a parade, ANSA reported.
In his message to Defense Chief of Staff Cavo Dragone for Republic Day, Mattarella emphasized the role of the Constitution.
Meloni, for her part, highlighted that the day holds a deeper meaning beyond mere celebration.
"It is the symbol of the fact that we understand that, regardless of whether there are difficulties or things go well, we only come through together," she said.
