Local fishermen were struggling to catch fish in the Paraíba River as they prepared for the visit of a regional governor\, Dom Pedro de Almeida e Portugal\, Count of Assumar. \nThree fishermen\, Domingos Garcia\, João Alves\, and Filipe Pedroso\, prayed to the Virgin Mary for help. Casting their nets\, they first pulled up a small clay statue of a headless figure from the river. When they cast their nets again\, they found the missing head. After retrieving and cleaning the statue\, they continued fishing\, and to their astonishment\, their nets filled with fish. \nThe fishermen took this as a miracle\, and word of the event spread quickly. The little dark-skinned clay statue\, later recognized as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception\, came to be affectionately called Nossa Senhora Aparecida\, meaning "Our Lady Who Appeared". \nThe statue was first kept in the home of Filipe Pedroso\, where neighbors gathered to pray. Reports of miracles and healings attributed to Our Lady of Aparecida multiplied\, and devotion to her spread across the region. In 1745\, a small chapel was built to house the statue\, and by 1834\, a larger church\, the Old Basilica\, was constructed to accommodate growing numbers of pilgrims. \nIn 1904\, Pope Pius X authorized the canonical coronation of Our Lady of Aparecida\, officially recognizing her as a sacred symbol of devotion. Later\, in 1930\, Pope Pius XI declared her the Patroness of Brazil\, cementing her status as a national spiritual figure. \nThe Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida\, built to replace the older church\, began construction in 1955 and was completed in 1980. That same year\, Pope John Paul II visited Brazil and consecrated the new basilica\, recognizing it as one of the largest Marian shrines in the world. In 1980\, the Brazilian government officially established October 12 as a national holiday dedicated to Our Lady of Aparecida\, blending religious reverence with cultural celebration. \nToday\, millions of pilgrims visit the Basilica of Aparecida each year\, especially on October 12\, walking\, cycling or even traveling long distances on foot to express devotion and gratitude.

The Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini had collapsed\, the country was divided between Allied and Nazi-controlled zones\, and the House of Savoy\, Italy's royal family\, was widely blamed for supporting Fascism. \nIn this climate\, Italians demanded a new political direction and a fresh start free from dictatorship and monarchy. \nOn June 2–3\, 1946\, Italians were called to vote in a constitutional referendum to decide whether Italy should remain a monarchy or become a republic. It was the first national election in which Italian women could vote\, a historic milestone for gender equality. \nThe results were close 12.7 million votes (54.3%) for the Republic\, 10.7 million votes (45.7%) for the Monarchy. On June 12\, 1946\, King Umberto II accepted the results and went into exile in Portugal\, earning the nickname "the May King" for his brief reign. \nOn June 2\, 1946\, Italy officially became the Italian Republic\, marking the end of over 85 years of monarchy (since unification in 1861). At the same time\, elections were held for the Constituent Assembly\, which later drafted the Italian Constitution\, coming into force on January 1\, 1948. \nJune 2 was declared a national holiday in 1949 to commemorate the formation of the Republic.
