In the first hours of the Day, His Majesty with most part of the Court and the highest State Officials reached the Imperial Mausoleum where was held a public solemn cerimony which saw Emperor Alessandro placing a flower crown close to the Well of Reverence looking Michele I's porphyry sarcophagus, flanked by the Prime Minister, the President of the National Assembly, the Archchancellor of the Empire and the Prince of the Crown Nicola.
Around 10 a.m. the procession of authorities moved north to Quattroregni Palace, in the southermost point of the large San Callisto Park which occupying most part of the same-name district. The site was chosen few months before as the one where build the Altar of the Empire, a monumen to celebrate the legacy of the Empire and of the Imperial Istalia.
For the occasion, on the site, just outside the large baroque gates to the park, it was realized a platform where the authorities took place to made their speech before thousands of people crowding the round square in front of the park gates.
Here His Majesty, made this speech:
A warm greeting to you all - everyone! - those present here who have flocked to celebrate this solemn anniversary together or those who are listening us from afar. Greetings to those listening at home and to those listening abroad.
A thought of gratitude to all: to all the Istalian people, who in these fifty years have operated, and worked, with sacrifice and with love, here among us and in so many parts, istalians, here and in the world, always for Istalia... Always for Istalia!
1 September 4571 - the Istalian people, with a free, personal, secret vote, by universal suffrage, the Istalian people chosed, as a new institutional form of the State and as a true new beginning of its history, the Empire.
It was like taking the sum of more than two decades of immense efforts to rise from the ashes of almost four years of war destroying men and things and years of liberation struggle.
Thus the first goal was reached.
Yes, because by making confident in this new era of its history, Istalia has succeeded in subsequently achieving many other goals that we celebrate today with pride and joy, all together.
Today we celebrate the men and women who by rigth have become part of the greatest names of the history of Istalia, new founding fathers, and obviously, first of all, we must remember Emperor Michele, whose memory we have honored a few hours ago, a man who, like few others, inspired the nation and who, like few, earned love and perpetual respect.
A new democracy, a new state, a new era, which brought prosperity, stability, prestige to Istalia and its people. 50 years that have seen so many great events and so many great triumphs made possible thanks to the ingenuity and the indefatigable temper of so many Istalians who have really shone at home and abroad, bringing luster to all of us.
In these 50 years, Istalia has still shown all its sensitivity and compassion for the fate of men and women all over the world and its faith in those inalienable rights of man that has always characterized our Country and that it has also inevitably shaped the new institutions of the Empire. An Empire of Tolerance, an Empire founded on plurality, an Empire devoutly and sacredly devoted to the defense of democracy and the rights of its citizens.
And it will be precisely in this place that a monument will rise to celebrate our new Empire, which will celebrate its values and the greatness it has brought to our great and beautiful Nation and which I hope will solemnly become a witness to many other years of munificent prosperity and that can inspire future generations and always remember to everyone the principles on which our nation and its institutions are founded.
Long live Istalia, Long live the Empire!

To fill the Podium there were finally many members of the Parliaments, obviously the most important political leaders, other state officials, burocrats, and so on.
At the same hours but all over Istalia, in large and small towns and cities, celebrations of all kinds took places and several cities profited of the anniversary to host trade fairs and festivals.

FLAME OF THE ALLIANCE
Official National Alliance for the Empire's newspaper
Stefano Terenzi appointed as new Foreign Minister of the Istalian Empire: "Stability and peace for the Istalians. This government will ponder much more carefully how and when to intervene internationally"
Stefano Terenzi, new Foreign Minister of the Istalian Empire
Tomassi's cabinet finally achieved to gain the confidence of the National Assembly so to be able to swear before Emperor Alessandro at Quattroregni Palace. Within the new Government the Ministries of Science and Technology, of Environment and Tourism and the one of Foreign Affairs were reserved to the National Alliance. The ones to control the three ministries will be respectively Nadir Odeh, Valeria Paoletti and Stefano Terenzi, new leader of the party.
The new Foreign Minister of the Empire said that this new Government will be focused on stability and peace for Istalia and Istalians. This Government will ponder much more carefully how and when to intervene internationally.
To promote stability for Istalia, and we have to recognize this to the previous Prime Minister Mossadeq, we must actually work for the stability first of all of eastern Majatra. For this reason we will continue the dialogue established with Kafuristan by the previous government.
But now that Prime Minister Leo Tomassi will lead this government on the path of great economic reforms, which will liberalize the economy and will promote greater investments domestically as well as from abroad, the Foreign Minister will must work also on establishing new fruitful treaties with foreign partners promoting free trade and increasing commerce.
Questioned about the major international crisis, the Prime Minister started talking about Vanuku said quite cinically:
Vanuku is defending its borders. It is all! Istalia would have adopted same resolute measures too if our borders would be attacked, looted and preyed on by raiders, predons and militants from a neighbouring country fell litterally on the chaos and unable to prevent such situation. Currently there is not government in Barmenistan, currently some kind of authority doesn't exist in Barmenistan and nobody is stopping the militants and the predons carrying out raids in north Vanuku.
We would like suggest to Majatran nations involved to work to assure a stable government in Barmenistan, for the well being of Barmenians and all the people leaving around the area and, of course, for the well being of the whole continent. We don't need nations failing in the chaos, we don't need wars, we don't need nothing of that. What we need is stability and peace for the continent and... probably Vanuku will be able to solve quickly this issue by itself.
About the escalation in north Dovani between Kazulia and Dankuk, instead, the Foreign Ministry said this:
It is unfortunate that Kazulia is once again under a new threat. This time, however, from abroad, from its neighbouring nation of Dankuk. We really hope that the situation will find a diplomatic solution for the sake of the international relations and international trade, which is growing again after a long period of global general crisis.
However, I cannot fail to express solidarity to Kazulia which is now responding to a massive and unreasonable deployement of Dankukin forces close to the borders and a unreasonable and unresponsable externation of hostility by part of Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army of Dankuk who showed to be quite paranoid about hostile intentions by part of Kazulia, an hypothesis which we consider rather inexistent now that Kazulia is fully focused on rise again from the ashes of the fascist regime.
Indeed, istalia judges Dankuk as only driven by a dangerous desire to compete with hostility with its neighbors, a desire expressed by the "God" Empress of Dankuk and used as populist propaganda to reinforce support for the regime.
The Dankuk government is putting at risk the peace and stability of entire nations for their own national propaganda and regime interests... this is a truly irresponsible foreign policy that I think will have serious consequences and repercussions, first and foremost on the Dankukin people.
