…today in Italy – June 2 – we celebrate Republic Day, which commemorates the institutional referendum of 1946. On that date, Italians (for the first time, including women) were called to the polls to choose between Monarchy and Republic, marking the birth of the new democratic order after the end of the Second World War and twenty years of fascist dictatorship. Commemorative events were held in all Italian municipalities. In Padua, the procession began from Palazzo Moroni, the seat of the municipality, and then continued to Piazza dei Signori, where local authorities gave speeches. So I left the crew filming the crowd and the empty pre-election promises and finished up at the office...

…early afternoon on a Friday in May… after lunch, a quick coffee is a must – the market in Piazza delle Erbe is now closed – …what better place to drink it than in front of the Palazzo della Ragione? …

...centuries ago, this building was called the Palazzo Pretorio. Today it is called Palazzo Moroni. It is an imposing complex composed of interconnected buildings from different eras, which since the 13th century have house Padua's municipal administration, the town hall, and numerous offices. This complex includes the famous Palazzo della Ragione, which served as a courthouse until the late 18th century, and the Torre degli Anziani... partially connected to the Palazzo and overlooking Piazza della Frutta... we are talking about some of the most precious historic buildings in Italy...
