This year’s Festa della Repubblica had a special momentum in that the 60th anniversary of the Rome Treaties, signed on 25th March 1957 and which kicked off the European integration, was celebrated. To this regard an exhibition of panels on the history of the EU integration was also organized to add more value to the function.
Images of Italy, of Italian international action and of the activities of the “Sistema Italia” in Uganda were projected on a wide screen.
Finally the whole night was accompanied by live music from the Baxmba Waves.
