Historie
Podle legendy založili Řím Romulus a Remus v roce 753 př. n. l. To značí počátek římské civilizace, která se rozrostla a stala se jednou z nejmocnějších říší v historii.
Římská republika byla založena v roce 509 př. n. l. po svržení posledního římského krále Lucia Tarquinia Superba. Toto období zaznamenalo expanzi římského vlivu po celém Apeninském poloostrově.
Julius Caesar, klíčová postava římských dějin, byl zavražděn v březnových idách v roce 44 př. n. l. Jeho smrt vedla ke konci Římské republiky a vzestupu Římské říše.
Pád Západořímské říše nastal v roce 476 n. l., kdy byl poslední římský císař Romulus Augustulus sesazen germánským králem Odoakerem. Tato událost znamenala začátek středověku v Evropě.
Karel Veliký byl korunován císařem římským papežem Lvem III. v roce 800 n. l., což značí založení Svaté říše římské, která hrála významnou roli v evropské politice po staletí.
Italské království bylo oficiálně vyhlášeno v roce 1861, což značí sjednocení různých států a království na Apeninském poloostrově pod králem Viktorem Emanuelem II.
Pochod na Řím se konal v říjnu 1922, což vedlo k nástupu Benita Mussoliniho k moci a k nastolení fašistického režimu v Itálii.
Itálie byla osvobozena od fašistické nadvlády 25. dubna 1945, což je den dnes slavený jako Den osvobození. Toto datum znamenalo konec druhé světové války pro Itálii a začátek jejího přechodu k republice.
Referendum se konalo 2. června 1946, v němž Italové hlasovali pro zrušení monarchie a nastolení republiky. Tento den je dnes slaven jako Den republiky v Itálii.
Itálie se v roce 1958 stala zakládajícím členem Evropského hospodářského společenství (EHS), které se později vyvinulo v Evropskou unii (EU). To znamenalo závazek Itálie k evropské integraci a spolupráci.
Itálie přijala euro jako svou oficiální měnu 1. ledna 2002, čímž nahradila italskou liru. Byl to významný krok v ekonomické integraci země se zbytkem Evropské unie.
