Today we celebrate Italy's Festa della Repubblica! This year is particularly special, as it's the 70th anniversary of Italian Republic. It's also the 70th anniversary of the women's right to vote — thanks to the establishment of universal voting rights.

Today, many Italians will spend the day watching parades and official national ceremonies in Rome.
