The celebration of the Republic was an authentically popular festival, divided into events that took place over the two days of 1 and 2 June. With the evocative scenery between the Prefecture – Territorial Government Office and the Cathedral, yesterday evening the Mondaino Young Orchestra enchanted those present with an appreciated concert directed by Maestro Michele Chiaretti. Among the packed audience, open to citizens who fully supported, also Bishop Nicolò Anselmi, the President of the Regional Legislative Assembly Emma Petitti, the President of the Province and Mayor Jamil Sadegholvaad, the Hon. Andrea Gnassi, the Regional Councilor Nadia Rossi, the Deputy Prosecutor Paola Bonetti (representing the Public Prosecutor of Rimini) and other authorities. Prefect Rosa Maria Padovano greeted all those present with a speech that drew attention to a series of historical connections inherent to Republic Day and the issues related to it that are still current, of which a passage is reported: “The dynamics of demographic change and the restructuring of welfare systems, migratory movements on a global scale, globalization, international competition, technological progress and its repercussions on the labor market and private life, are all phenomena that have undergone an acceleration and to which companies like ours have had to quickly adapt. Celebrating a celebration like that of the birth of the Republic means acquiring energy and resources from historical reflection on the ability to make an Italy devastated by war re-emerge stronger, in the awareness of being able to succeed even today – albeit subjected to formidable pressures deriving from phenomena that move on a planetary scale – to formulate complex projects and long-term visions. The inter-institutional collaboration, the public offices, the police forces represented here, the local authorities with many mayors present today who guide them, the commitment and social participation of the numerous voluntary associations that innervate the Rimini area, the assiduous and responsible for the trade associations, the attention and stimulus of the workers’ representatives constitute for this territory – all together and each for their own part – an enormous social capital that must not be squandered.” During the evening the Prefect also awarded seven honors of the Order “Al Merito della Repubblica Italiana” granted by the President of the Republic (see attached profiles). This morning the traditional ceremony in Piazza Cavour with the review by the Prefect of the Picket in Arms (present classifications of all the Armed Forces), of the State Corps and of the Combatant and Armed Associations. On the occasion, as per consolidated tradition, the Prefect read the Message from the President of the Republic to the Prefects. In closing, an essay edited by the Provincial Fire Brigade Command.
