150 years of united Italy

On March 1861 Italy was formed from the unification of seven different states. This year, on 17th march, the 150th anniversary will be celebrated, even if the celebrations have actually already begun one year ago. Many events have been planned: some of them are devoted to the Places of Memory all over the country, others to historical reenactments and cultural and scientific highlights. Furthermore, new infrastructures will be built. All initiatives are coordinated by a special Committee, which was instituted two years ago.
