Italian Republic Day (Festa della Repubblica) is celebrated every year on June 2 and marks the birth of modern Italy as a republic. The holiday commemorates the historic referendum held on June 2–3, 1946, when Italians, simply were asked to choose between maintaining the monarchy or establishing a republic after the devastation of World War II and the collapse of fascism.

“Biciclettata in Fiore” (Flower Bicycle Ride) is a long-running community cycling celebration in Arona on the shores of Lake Maggiore. The event is organized by Pro Loco Arona and is non-competitive family bicycle parade where participants decorate their bikes with flowers, ribbons, balloons, and colorful ornaments.

2026 Giro d'Italia came through our little town of Arona on May 22nd. It was the coolest thing to watch and has a very interesting history.

As we grow older, we start to notice the quiet changes in our reflection. The face that once felt so familiar is changing. Fine lines appear around the eyes and small creases settle near the mouth. Wrinkles, the signs of aging, remind us that time has been moving and that life has been happening. Every wrinkle tells our story!
