Celebrated in many countries on 1st May, the Labour Day celebrates social and economic achievements resulting from the labour union movement. In particular, it refers to the Eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight for recreation and eight for rest.
The first celebration of the Labour Day in Europe dates back to 1889. In Italy, after being cancelled during the twenty years of fascism, it has been reintroduced in 1945 after the Second World War.
