From 1 to 4 May 2025, the city of Bari will host the official celebrations for the 164th anniversary of the founding of the Italian Army<\/strong>an anniversary that combines tradition, national pride and popular participation. Indeed, the date of 4 May recalls a fundamental moment in our history: in 1861, the Minister of War Manfredo Fanti decreed the end of the Armata Sarda and the birth of the Regio Esercito<\/strong>officially sanctioning the establishment of what is now the Italian Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\"In view of the law of 17 March 1861, by which HM assumed the title of King of Italy, the undersigned hereby informs all the Authorities, Corps and Military Offices that henceforth the Royal Army shall take the name Esercito Italiano, the old name Armata Sarda being abolished\".
- Signed Manfredo Fanti, Minister of War<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Army Village and the square party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To worthily celebrate this important milestone, Bari will welcome the \"Army Village<\/strong>transforming the heart of the city into an open-air exhibition of the Armed Forces' main assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, here is a more generic version of the paragraph:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citizens will be able to get closer to the military world through exhibitions, demonstrations and interactive activities designed for all ages. There will also be information stands and spaces dedicated to the history of the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the event there will also be Army Radio<\/strong>, the official web radio of the Armed Forces, ready to welcome guests, report live on the event and involve the audience in games, music and interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking and traffic restrictions: watch out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To allow the smooth running of the celebrations, the Bari Local Police<\/strong> has set up a long series of parking and traffic restrictions<\/strong>, which will affect many areas of the city centre, particularly those adjacent to the waterfront and the main squares involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting 25 April until 5 May 2025<\/strong>will be in force on prohibition of stopping<\/strong> on via N. Sauro, via Arcivescovo Vaccaro, via Matteotti, via Gorizia and many other streets. In some cases, the bans will also be active h24<\/strong>until the end of disassembly operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
