The landmark Polish constitution was the world’s second modern constitution after that of the United States. It was adopted during the time of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which existed from 1569 to 1795.
Sunday’s concert was co-organized by the Polish and Lithuanian embassies in the Italian capital.

The concert was aired live by Italian radio broadcaster RAI. Polish Radio will rebroadcast it at 4 p.m. on Monday.
May 3 is Constitution Day in Poland.
