The Italian Air Force has served the country over his 100 years. On March 28, 1923, the Italian Air Force was formed and Italy’s first military aviation school was opened. Since then, this unit has been essential in the defense of Italy and its interests, from World War II to international peacekeeping operations.
To commemorate this momentous occasion, the Italian Air Force plans a range of activities and events throughout the year, including air shows, exhibitions and open houses at bases across Italy. These activities showcase the Air Force’s capabilities, heritage, and national service.
His Flypast, a spectacular display of Italian Air Force aircraft over Rome on March 28, 2023, will be his one of the main attractions of the celebration. Thousands of people are expected to gather in the city to witness the event, which marks the culmination of the 100th anniversary.

Since its creation, the Italian Air Force has grown into a highly skilled and modern force equipped with the latest tools and technology. The unit has participated in many international missions, including peacekeeping missions in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, and has been instrumental in providing aid and assistance to those in need during times of crisis. The growth of the Italian aviation industry was also greatly facilitated by the Italian Air Force. We have worked with many of Italy’s leading aerospace companies to develop cutting-edge technologies and equipment that have significantly advanced the industry.
The 100th Anniversary Celebration provides an opportunity to reflect on the history, achievements and contributions of the Italian Air Force to the nation. It is also a time to honor the dedication and sacrifice of the men and women who have served in the Air Force over the past century to protect Italy and its citizens.
On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the Italian Air Force maintains its status as a major player in the international aerospace industry and as an integral part of Italy’s defense and security system, while continuing to strive for excellence and excellence. We look forward to the future of service.
