Proclamation 150/mo anniversary of the unification of Italy by Barack Obama

"I am Barack Obama, President of the United States, by virtue of the power that the Constitution and American law relies on me, do hereby proclaim March 17 the day of celebration of the anniversary of 150/mo ' Unification of Italy. " The President of the United States has opted for a more solemn tribute to our country on the day when all the Italians are celebrating a milestone of our country. The next day, in which he writes Obama, the United States and Italy will celebrate "its unification into a single state." An official tribute but not cold and bureaucratic. Quite the contrary. Inside the long press release from the White House, Obama cites Garibaldi and illustrates the deep historical reasons that explain this day of celebration, honoring the "courage and vision to the sacrifice of those patriots who gave birth to the Italian nation." And you leave to go to a valuable historical parallel between the American Civil War and the Thousand. "While the United States were fighting to preserve the union, Giuseppe Garibaldi's campaign to unite Italy inspired many around the world struggling with their own struggles." Obama then points out that among the admirers of Garibaldi there were American soldiers: they were men of 39/esimo New York Infantry Regiment, also known as' Garibaldi Guard. "Today - Obama goes on - the legacy of Garibaldi and all those who fought for the unification of Italy lives in millions of Americans, men and women, from Italian origin that improve and enrich my country." And taking a cue from the common history, Obama reiterates "strong ties of friendship between Italy and the United States, and the common commitment to civil liberties, democratic principles and human rights." And the day when our country celebrates a milestone in our history, Obama never misses an opportunity "to honor the joint efforts that the Americans and Italians do to spread freedom and democracy around the world." The roots of this strong alliance and common views originate in the history of the Risorgimento, a historical period that should be studied more not only by us, but even from this side of the Atlantic. On this point, Obama uses a formula molro clear: "I encourage all Americans - urges - to study more about the history of the unification of Italy and pay tribute to the great friendship that ties between our peoples." The statement has an illustrious precedent in the speech of John F. Kennedy at Washington, exactly 50 years ago, on March 16, 1961, the centenary of the Unification of Italy. For the Italian ambassador in Washington, Giulio Terzi, this is "an extraordinary sign of friendship from President Obama, who wanted to show the proximity of his country in Italy such an important occasion for all Italians, even those who live in the USA.
