The Italian resistance (It. Resistenza italiana) is the umbrella term for the various partisan forces formed by pro-Allied Italians during World War II. They were also known as the Partisan Resistance, in Italian: Resistenza partigiana, and the Second Risorgimento.

The 1947 democratic Constitution of the Italian Republic declared itself to be “built on the Resistance”.

On April 19, 1945, concurrent with the renewal of the Allied offensive, the CLN called out a general insurrection.Bologna was liberated on April 21 by Polish and Brigata Maiella troops. Parma and Reggio Emilia were liberated on April 24. Turin and Milan were liberated on April 25 when Fascists retreated. Over 14,000 German and Fascist troops were captured in Genoa on April 26 and 27, when General Meinhold surrendered to the CLN. Allied troops arrived in the liberated cities in the next days.

Pictures taken by me and Francesca Stignani during the february, 5 2011 rally to ask italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi to resign after being implicated in a new sex scandal. More than 10,000 people gathered inside the stadium, and other protesters assembled
outside its doors, unable to enter. During the rally, a lot of italian personalities tried to explain why mr. Berlusconi should resign and why he is a treat to italian democracy. The former italian president, mr. Scalfaro, with the help of a couple of other constitutionalists, spoke about the origins of italian Constitution, and explained how Berlusconi‘s action can be considered a great danger to the individual rights of every Italian citizen. Journalists Roberto Saviano, Gad Lerner, and Concita De Gregorio, writer and philosopher Umberto Eco, actor Moni Ovadia and many others also spoke during the afternoon.
