@savoyfamily46: On June 2, 1946, Italians were called upon to make a historic choice: through a referendum, they had to decide whether to keep the monarchy or turn Italy into a republic. The victory of the Republic marked the end of the House of Savoy’s monarchy and the beginning of a new era for the country. The exile imposed on the Savoy family after the referendum officially ended in 2002. #fyp #monarchy #onthisdayinhistory #savoy #italy
