The Foreign Ministry and all Italian Diplomatic and Consular Missions around the world celebrate Europe Day. Italy believes in a united Europe, capable of addressing global challenges and protecting the shared values of freedom, solidarity, and democracy.
The Schuman Declaration, the founding document of the European integration process, was signed on May 9, 1950. That historic moment marked the beginning of the European project, which promoted peace, cooperation, and development, thus deeply transforming the continent and strengthening the bonds between its peoples.
