Rome, 24 March (LaPresse) – Yesterday’s vote “was a very important referendum because it showed how Italians rallied to defend the Constitution. And even on a day like today, we know and understand why our Constitution is so precious: it is also the product of the horrors and tragedies of the Second World War. It was precisely in the wake of the horrors we have just commemorated here that it was drafted collectively by the founding fathers. Italians know that such a precious and important document cannot be reformed by majority vote.” So said the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, on the sidelines of the ceremony commemorating the 82nd anniversary of the massacre at the Fosse Ardeatine in Rome.
