Italy is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the day that ended World War II in the country, marking the end of Nazi occupation and the victory of the Resistance. Due to the current lockdown the occasion will be a bit different this year.


We talk to historian Barbara Berruti, vice director of the Istituto piemontese per la storia della Resistenza e della società contemporanea “Giorgio Agosti” in Turin, Italy.
