Italian national holiday commemorating the end of World War I, national territorial unification, and the heroic sacrifices of the Italian Armed Forces.
On November 4, 1918, the Armistice of Villa Giusti took effect, concluding hostilities against the Austro-Hungarian Empire and securing Trento and Trieste, fulfilling the 19th-century Risorgimento dream of Italian unification. Established in 1919, the day features the President of Italy laying a laurel wreath at the Altare della Patria in Rome and military flypasts by the Frecce Tricolori.
