The celebrations of the anniversary of Rome as capital of Italy induce reflections on the various procrastinations and historical images that have been deployed at the political level. They surpass even the "invention of tradition" and finish up as a form of timeless liquid history, in which the study of the past is crushed by the political present. In a recent commemorative congress at Rome a revision was proposed based on reconciliation - on the model of what had already been put forward for the Resistance - that makes it impossible to distinguish the historical reasons and passions of the event, and define an Italian identity in which Rome is an "irreplaceable pivot".
Keywords: Unification of Italy, 20 September 1870, celebrations, Church, Rome
