On June 2, 1946 is a date that we have to remember not only for the birth of the Italian Republic, but also because it was the first time that Italians voted freely after more than two decades of dictatorship and for the first time the right to vote was extended to all citizens. The turnout was of 89.1%, the highest ever recorded in the Italian elections, a sign that the population understood the importance of democracy, despite the dictatorship elections were described as "ludi paper" worthless.
The result, known to all, he saw clearly prevail against a Monarchy Republic rightly or wrongly considered too closely tied to the recent past. Particular fact is that today's most conservative regions of the country (northern ones) voted by a large margin while those for the Republic of South votarno for the monarchy.
Today we are unfortunately faced with a disappointment of the citizens towards politics and the value of democracy, unfortunately every election increases the number of abstention and more people declare themselves disappointed, we should instead relate to the enthusiasm that the generations who had participated in political life after the war to draw a good lesson today, voters participated in 1946 and believed to change the country, voters Today it would have done?
