History and politics

• Every September 20, the World Day of Freedom of Expression of Thought is celebrated to commemorate the "Breach of the Porta Pia" in Rome, a significant event by which the Italian patriotic forces defeated the forces of the Vatican, allied to the French Empire. The celebration of this event is intended to reaffirm and support the diversity of opinions and the right to freedom of expression without harassment of people's thoughts, opinions and beliefs, as the basis of modern society. In this regard, the United Nations Organization in its Universal Declaration of Human Rights issued in 1948 established in Article 19 the right of all individuals to freedom of opinion and expression, which includes not being questioned for their opinions, the right to investigate, receive and disseminate information without limitations, by any means of expression. The Porta Pia Gap is an event that took place on September 20, 1870, led by the Garibaldian and libertarian forces, defeating the Vatican forces allied to the French Empire.

• September 20th - National Tradesmen Day. Tradesmen build our homes, they pave our roads, they construct buildings for our businesses and schools. Although they are often overlooked, many people should realize that they are the backbone of every nation because they are doing the jobs that keep the world running and life moving. That’s why there is a day dedicated to Tradesmen and their hard work. The day often includes recognition events, celebrations, and activities that identify and honor the hard work that they do. Irwin Tools, a world-class manufacturer of a broad line of professional hand tools and power tool accessories, founded this very important day in 2011.
• September 20th - National Punch Day. The word punch means five, originating from the Hindustani word panch. National Punch Day sadly isn’t an excuse to drink five glasses of punch; rather, it celebrates the traditional punch base recipe of five key ingredients, which most punches still use – alcohol (usually spirits), lemon (or other fruits), sugar, water, and tea (or other spices, e.g. cinnamon). Punch made its way to England in the 17th century. It did this via those who worked for the British East India Company. They brought the drink to the UK. After this, it then spread across Europe, soon becoming an extremely popular drink, which was served at family gatherings and parties. Punch is served in a punch bowl, which is a large bowl. These were a common household item in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. A lot of the bowls were passed down as heirlooms, as they came with ornate stands and were beautiful statement pieces.
• September 20th - National Pepperoni Pizza Day. Pepperoni pizza has become the standard pizza for people all over the world. In fact, it stands apart as the singularly most ordered type of pizza on the entire planet. The pizza is believed to have first been developed in Italy in 1889 by Raffaele Esposito, though others claim that the first one was sold in 1738 in Naples, Italy. Pepperoni is one of many cased meats (like salami, but spicier) that likely traces its origins back to Italian immigrants to New York City in the early 1900s. It wasn’t until the 1950s that pizza became a widespread dish in the United States. The first mention of pizza in the US was in a New York Times article that called it “a pie popular in Southern Italy”. And, even then, it was continuing to develop flavor over time.
