                Proclamation 10180 of April 13, 2021

                
160th Anniversary of the Unification of Italy and 
                the Establishment of United States-Italy Diplomatic 
                Relations

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Today we commemorate over 160 years since the 
                unification of Italy as a single state and the 
                establishment of United States-Italy diplomatic 
                relations. Our nations share a deep and enduring 
                friendship, bolstered by the bonds of family and 
                culture that tie our peoples together. It is a 
                particularly meaningful relationship for the millions 
                of proud Americans who trace their ancestry to Italy, 
                including my wife Jill. On this anniversary, we 
                celebrate the long-standing partnership we have with 
                Italy, including our commitment in the post-World War 
                II era to enhance our mutual prosperity and security 
                and to advance our core democratic values, including 
                human rights.

                This is also a moment to reaffirm the willingness of 
                the United States and Italy to meet the challenges of 
                the future together. We are steadfast NATO Allies and 
                anchors of the trans-Atlantic partnership. Italy is a 
                leader in peacekeeping missions and security operations 
                around the world. As we strive together to overcome new 
                challenges, from defeating the COVID-19 pandemic and 
                fueling an equitable global economic recovery to 
                meeting the existential threat of climate change, the 
                United States and Italy remain close friends and vital 
                allies.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America, by virtue of the 
                authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws 
                of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 13 as a 
                day to celebrate over 160 years since the unification 
                of Italy and the establishment of United States-Italy 
                diplomatic relations. I encourage all Americans to 
                honor the enduring friendship between the people of 
                Italy and the people of the United States.
