Some additional info: the "Canto degli Italiani", which is the official name of the anthem, was adopted after the war with the birth of the Republic. It was introduced transitorily, to then revise the matter in the future and take a final decision. The issue was never taken up in the following years and thus the anthem stuck (though it actually was confirmed as the country's official and definitive anthem only in 2017), but was not a major thing with the population. In the early 2000s president Ciampi promoted a strong campaign to introduce it at all events and encouraged people to start singing it proudly. This whole new attitude towards the anthem was then reinforced in 2011 with the 150th anniversary of the constitution of modern Italy as a nation. From then on the people have really adopted it and, as you say, the Covid lockdown was the final strong catalyst that really brought everything together.
I was hoping for more discussion of the actual musical form of the anthem, which is to me what raises it to the best anthem in the world - and I am not Italian. The overtly operatic style speaks to the truly great cultural contribution that Italian composers have given to the world over centuries. Indeed it could well be a chorus from a Verdi opera. It begins stately and grand, with a sort of strutting confidence; then in the second half accelerates to a vibrant crescendo until the shout, “Si!” It captures so much drama in so little time.
It's a cabaletta a very popular music back in 19th century. Cabaletta is usually the last part of an opera written in Solita Forma. The peculiarity of the Cabaletta is that it's composed by musical periods repeated twice (or three times), to be honest it was an easy musical pretext to gain public approval, criticized by the great composers but in reality excellent for a revolutionary song like Il Canto degli Italiani. Novaro - the composer - used this structure to tell a dialogue between a general, a leader (the tenor) and the people (the choir). It begins with the drums to represent the sound of a battle in the distance, then the general arrived and talk to the people, the people respond, repeating the general's words with emphasis. The general tell them the reasons to fight for the homeland (brothers of Italy, Italy is awaken, she has wrapped her head in Scipio's helmet, God make Victory slave of Roma and she's ready to offer her hair to Italy - as a sign of submission; we are for centuries downtrodden and derided, because we are divided, let's unite under one flag, one hope, so as to merge together in one natione, the time has come. etc...), the people respond. And after the strophe, they sing the chorus "let's gather together as a cohort, we are ready to die, Italy has called" twice, adding a shouted "yes" at the end. In the other verses, Mameli remember some important historical events, the Sicilian Vesper, the Battle of Legnano, the battle of Gavinana, the boy who threw a stone at an Austrian officer, sparking the revolt that freed Genova. He attacks Austria (and Russia) saying that Austria drunk the Italian blood and with Russia the Poland blood (Poland and Italy was fighting more or less the same battle). And in the last verses the unification is announced repeating the first strophe with "evviva l'Italia" (long life to Italy) instead of "Fratelli d'Italia" (Brothers of Italy). The tempos and styles are: "allegro marziale con molta energia" for the first part (the tenor, the general), "allegro mosso e molto concitato" for the second (the choir, the people) and "accelerando" for the chorus. That's the original anthem, unfortunately it is often played the wrong way, transformed into a march rather than a singable song.

While I appreciate your comments on the music and text itself. I would also add that saying that nobody sings their anthem like the Italians is wrong.

The music itself is also a “finale d’Opera”, the last piece to run in an opera, it’s a “call and response”, where the king asks the Italians to join him, the Italians first reply with shyness acknowledging the question, then he ask again and they come back with energy and passion (that’s why all parts are repeated twice)
As a Mexican-American I was very fortunate to have lived 3 years in the island of Sicily, yes I know its a bit different down there and its not Florence or Rome, but the Italian spirit is still very strong and everywhere in Sicily, and I felt in love with it, I always considered Italy and Sicily my 3rd home..
Its really silly ridicolous that americans thinks that who come from: Tuscany, Venice, Milan and Rome is much more italian and "Noble" than who lives in the other places of country, I find all this enormously offensive to all our citizens who have worked, fought and lost a lot in our history, but do not worry about it since you are the most important, rich and "Great" country of the earth.😓😓😓
As an indian with deep appreciation for italian football, food and culture I just love the ambitious passionate anthem. No wonder our ancestors used to share trade and culture with each other. We even have roman sites in southern india. Greek in northwest. Both great civilizations and cultures ❤
I’m italian and even before the pandemic when I sang the national anthem I was screaming it at the top of my lungs. The song has a very powerful meaning that I don’t think people outside of Italy would understand. When I went to Boston I played it for the family which was hosting me and one of my friends, and when we sang it holding each other screaming and jumping they were very surprised.
If I can add a small note to fhiss magnificent video, before the 2000s there was no great tradition in singing the anthem in football even during the word cup in Italy almost nobody sang it. It was the president of the republic Ciampi who advised starting to sing as was done in Rugby and the first results they showed up from 2006 onwards. Thank you for this great video ❤❤
The covid part made me cry. I remember both my grandparents from mother side where in critical conditions and me and my family were in quarantine and could comunicate with them like once every two days through phone calls. It was a frightening period
A thing that makes the italian anthem even more powerful is that the music written by Michele Novaro was structured as a Theatrical Opera, as Mameli gave little to no directions to him for the composition, just the lyrics. So it was imagined like a sort of place, full of people, one of these people was imagined to get up above the others and sing "Fratelli, d'italia..." ecc.. ecc... When he finished saying so, all the people that were there were imagined to start repeating the words of the man, at first shyly for then becoming more and more exited and eager for freedom at the end. I dont fully remember the full structure of it, but i find that this as well makes our anthem even more powerful
Bellissimo! So true! It's a hymn that energizes you. In recent years, I have felt the need to listen to it enthusiastically and gloriously sung by our national football team.
It's a great revolutionary song, like the Marseillaise and also like the Polish anthem Jeszcze Polska - which was actually the song of the Poles in exile in Italy. The words are historic, but obscure and it's glorious but quite hard to sing. Important fact: it was suppressed during the time of fascism, and thus became one of the songs of liberation, then adopted by the new Italian Republic, and since always played at the anniversary of liberation.
Italian and Poland anthems are connected with their history, ''il sangue d'Italia, il sangue polacco'' and ''march, march Dombrowski from Italy to Poland'' the 2 hymns are beautiful and powerful...
I am Italian and this video was really good and well-made. Even before 2020 we were already singing our anthem loudly, it is one of those things that unites every Italian, but after 2020 it assumed a new meaning too. I remember those days, your reportage brought back many bad memories but also that sense of hope and "we will beat it" that we had at the time, while singing our anthem and other Italian songs from our balconies while waving our flag.
It is impossible not to exalt ourselves and give 110% after shouting these words, “stringiamoci a coorte” means let's hold on to a coorte(the coorti were formed by several legions in the Roman army) “siam pronti alla morte l’Italia chiamò ‘ si!!” Means let's be ready for death!! Italy called! Yes!! I’an very proud of my national anthem..
It is true that in the early 90’s no one sang the national anthem. It was for President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, in charge since 1999 to 2006. He restored the importance of things such as the national anthem, and to see sport players of Italy to sing it correctly . Before of that, patriotism was seen as sort of fascist behaviour.
And it's the same nowadays, left idiots and wake culture fans still believe that to be a patriot means to be fascist. I'm a patriot and NEVER been fascist, keep it in mind leftists, you are the real fascists
Purtroppo noi italiani troviamo unità nei simboli della nazione solo quando ci troviamo davanti a dure prove.Nell'ordinarietà siamo spesso e volentieri un popolo diviso.
Ma non c'entra un cazzo il covid. Gli italiani hanno cominciato a cantare l'inno dopo che l'ha "ordinato" il Presidente Ciampi all'inizio degli anni 2000, che ha attuato una serie di azioni per riportare in alto la simbologia patria, ha rimesso la festa del 2 giugno, ha invitato gli italiani ad esporre il tricolore ai balconi e quasi ordinato agli italiani che quando suona l'inno si canta sull'attenti.
The big shift happened somewhere in the early-mid 2000’s, when then President Ciampi made it mandatory to teaching the anthem in schools. I remember learning it and singing it very passionately already in middle school/junior high, and my generation has done it ever since
in 1980 they didn't sing because the national anthem was a thing to hear sung by a band and it was almost never sung. Only later did we start singing because the players were expected to sing it too, not because of the covid😅
Exactly, if you watch 2006 World Cup you see them singing it loud. Only Cameronesi didn’t because he was Argentinian.. This has nothing to do with COVID.
It’s both things. In 2006 our President, who was a scholar with interest in the hymn, rounded up players and gave them a lecture on the meaning and the importance of the song. They sang it and won, so since we are superstitious people we kept at it. After covid ot took a different meaning. When all references where lost and all you could hear was the sound of ambulances, the only thing that made me feel less alone was the national anthem flash mob at 11 on Fridays. Now we sing it, with those days in mind. And those people who cannot sing it.
Great video, congratulations, but the anthem was sung with this passion even before the coronavirus. We know the great meaning of our Hymn, it was not just a question of the circumstances of that historical moment. 🇮🇹
Oui, but do you seriously think that they came to their balconies only because they were asked to? or would they sing anything else if the president had asked for? 🤔
@@puzmedia Bel video se solo tu avessi rinunciato a qualche stereotipo...E comunque cantiamo con passione il nostro inno perché siamo consapevoli della nostra cultura e del contributo dato alla storia dell'umanità....e comunque da molto tempo prima della pandemia.
Sì, è vero che durante la presidenza Ciampi ci fu una grande rivalutazione dell'inno di Mameli e del tricolore. E fu Carlo Azeglio Ciampi in prima persona a spingere per una rivalutazione di questi simboli nazionali.
🦅 - S.P.Q.R. - 🦅 La forza di cantare viene dai tempi delle legioni romane, dove i soldati marciavano intonando canti di lotta e di gloria. È giusto che il canto del risorgimento abbia la stessa forza e la stessa eredità del grande Impero Romano. #italia #spqr
The funny thing is that this song wasn't supposed to be a national hymn, more like a patriot song but not a hymn. Also every time italians sing the national anthem at the end they always scream "SI" (yes) even tho is not in the text.
The main reason why Italians sing the anthem is not the corona virus, It has absolutely nothing to do with it, the Italians were already singing it before. In the early 2000s, the Italian President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi implemented a series of actions to restore importance to Italian symbols. June 2nd (the day in which the Italians voted in the referendum to choose between a republic or a monarchy) returned to being a national holiday after many years in which it was no longer celebrated (and celebrated that with the Frecce Tricolori flying over the Fori Imperiali and the Vittoriano). The president invited the Italians to display the Tricolor and demanded that the Italians (and the Italian athletes) sing the anthem, standing at attention. And it was he himself who began to do so, on every public occasion, he could be seen singing the anthem, paying homage to the flag, he called the Quirinale Palace (seat of the presidency of the republic) "the home of the Italians" etc. He is the reason why Italians sing the anthem the way they do today and he is also the reason why it has been used as a symbol of unity during the pandemic. But this process of affection for the anthem had already happened before 2020, the Italian players at the World Cup 2006 sang the anthem just like the Italian players at Euro 2020. In a few months, with his words and his behavior, Ciampi definitively silenced all the disputes about the anthem, finally making it the true anthem of Italy. His politic led to the adoption of Il Canto Degli Italiani as the offical country's anthem in 2018 (yeah, it wasn't the official anthem before).
My late grandfather served as ambassador to the Italian republic and was the first of his countrymen to receive the order of merit of the Italian republic, having helped hundreds of thousands of immigrants safe passage in the 1980s, and my mother spent the latter of her teen years in Rome, and she passed down the love of the country and the Azzuri to me. Visited back in 2014 and I will always hold a special place in my heart. Forza Italia!!
The situation was so bad that in March 2020 in Bergamo military trucks convoys were used to move coffins to be cremated in other cities, because local crematoriums could not keep up.
Thanks for this video. I loved it. I lost my mum on 09/04/2020 for Covid-19 and this video made me cry. Let me explain (reference m 5,55 of the video) why there has been a change in the singing of the anthem from the 1980s to the present. Former Italian President Azeglio Ciampi (1996-2006), after noticing that our players were not singing the anthem, publicly encouraged them to do so with pride. During WWII, Ciampi he joined the Partito d'Azione and the Italian resistance movement. Due to his moral standing throughout his life, his call did not go unheard. From that moment, we Italians have proudly and passionately sung our anthem. I must say, it is among the best national anthems-not the only great one, of course, but certainly among the best.
As an Italian, although this story feels a bit romanticized, it is also true, and I do feel the emotion in the hymn, inside of me, I felt it even before the pandemic
What's the magic? Next time you are born, select Italy as the destination of your birth. Live there a bit, learn about it a bit more. And then understand the responsibility and pride that comes with that unique background when you face the world to represent it. It's not always a success; but there are enough successes, in every single field of human existence, that warrant the passion and respect.

Avrebbe potuto essere un video discreto se solo avessero evitato i soliti e vecchi (avete stancato!) luoghi comuni: urliamo anche quando compriamo i pomodori, oppure la famiglia di Toni Manero nella febbre del sabato sera è la tipica famiglia italiana... Come dire: mister Bean è l'inglese medio. E tanto per essere precisi, non vi è alcuna correlazione tra il covid e l'orgoglio nel cantare l'inno.
Pensate che 25 fa , solo il 15 - 20% degli Italiani conoscevano il testo dell'inno nazionale e nessuno lo cantava in pubblico, ma grazie al presidente della repubblica Carlo Azelio Ciampi che fece una campagna pubblicitaria con CD nei giornali e nelle scuole l'inno divenne popolare e cantato da tutti
Covid has nothing to do with Italians singing the anthem, it was done even before and in all the disciplines in which Italy competes or simply where there are many people and including the national anthem. Every time Ferrari wins an F1 race, the mechanics under the podium sing the anthem waving their nation's flags and have done so since the manufacturer's anthem also plays on the podium. so for decades and decades. every time Alfa Romeo won a race in the touring car championship, the podium was filled with Italian flags with men and women singing at the top of their lungs, with Lancia in the rallies, with the Olympic athletes etc. always and in any case, the national anthem was sung by the people, by the fans, by the mechanics, by the technicians etc. but not by pilots or professionals. in the 80s, making noise during the performance of any national anthem was considered a lack of respect, therefore, professionals avoided singing, but if you pay attention, you will notice that someone whispers it and others think it, yes, because inside their minds, they too were singing the national anthem. if you had added the audio during the sequence that shows us the national team of the 80s, you would have heard the entire stadium singing the national anthem, because the fans and the people couldn't care less about what the Italian sports federation thought in those years. and among those fans present in the stands of the 80s, there were children, children who in the future would become the new professionals and would carry the singing of the Italians onto the playing field. this is why today, more than yesterday, the anthem is also sung on the playing field.
Yeah, honestly I would prefer if we took football less seriously and more about serious things (economy, world affairs etc). Unfortunately, just like Churchill said, we loose wars (or whatever other serious matter) like they were football matches and we loose football matches as if those were wars.
Only reason I love the Italian National anthem is because it used to follow after the German National Anthem with conductors M.Schumacher and S.Vettel #forzaferrari #f1 #f2004
Actually, the shift was because as you noticed, few decades ago no one was singing the anthem in major competitions. Ppl, especially politicians if I remember, begun complaining about this, about this lack of patriotism and effort in playing in the national team. After a while, football players begun singing, adding more and more passion over the years. At the beginning they were pretty shy, now they are not 😊
Do you Know that the Mameli's Anthem colled also "Il Canto degli Italiani", even if was considered as the National Athem, to say the trouth, it hadn't been the official National Athem since 2017, when the low n° 181 declared this?

As an indian with deep appreciation for italian football, food and culture I just love the ambitious passionate anthem. No wonder our ancestors used to share trade and culture with each other. We even have roman sites in southern india. Greek in northwest. Both great civilizations and cultures ❤
I recently discovered that my town Arezzo (a city in Tuscany Italy) was selling it's pottery in India 2500 years ago!!
Thanks to Michael Schumacher in early 2000s, I hooked to this anthems and able to sing it. I'm Indonesian btw.
I’m italian and even before the pandemic when I sang the national anthem I was screaming it at the top of my lungs. The song has a very powerful meaning that I don’t think people outside of Italy would understand. When I went to Boston I played it for the family which was hosting me and one of my friends, and when we sang it holding each other screaming and jumping they were very surprised.
Come on, it's just the usual nationalistic bollocks from the 1800s.
The italian anthem has 2 authors: Goffredo Mameli for the words and Michele Novaro for the music (who also added the final in the text).
If I can add a small note to fhiss magnificent video, before the 2000s there was no great tradition in singing the anthem in football even during the word cup in Italy almost nobody sang it. It was the president of the republic Ciampi who advised starting to sing as was done in Rugby and the first results they showed up from 2006 onwards. Thank you for this great video ❤❤
We are just really proud of our amazing country. Who wouldn’t be? Italy is such a paradise on Earth.
The covid part made me cry. I remember both my grandparents from mother side where in critical conditions and me and my family were in quarantine and could comunicate with them like once every two days through phone calls. It was a frightening period
Per fortuna è alle nostre spalle. Auguri alla tua famiglia
DIO MIO that's how you sing your nation's anthem. Forza Italia
A thing that makes the italian anthem even more powerful is that the music written by Michele Novaro was structured as a Theatrical Opera, as Mameli gave little to no directions to him for the composition, just the lyrics.
So it was imagined like a sort of place, full of people, one of these people was imagined to get up above the others and sing "Fratelli, d'italia..." ecc.. ecc... When he finished saying so, all the people that were there were imagined to start repeating the words of the man, at first shyly for then becoming more and more exited and eager for freedom at the end.
I dont fully remember the full structure of it, but i find that this as well makes our anthem even more powerful
Best national anthem ever, case closed!
Italy! Itali! Italy!!!! I'm gonna cry :(
They will rise again! World cup 2026
Arguably the best national anthem ever!!
this video made me cry, I've been traveling for years because of my job, and this video reminds me why I love my country
Watching Ferrari mechanics belt this out every win made me fall in love with the Italian national anthem
Bellissimo! So true! It's a hymn that energizes you. In recent years, I have felt the need to listen to it enthusiastically and gloriously sung by our national football team.
It's a great revolutionary song, like the Marseillaise and also like the Polish anthem Jeszcze Polska - which was actually the song of the Poles in exile in Italy. The words are historic, but obscure and it's glorious but quite hard to sing. Important fact: it was suppressed during the time of fascism, and thus became one of the songs of liberation, then adopted by the new Italian Republic, and since always played at the anniversary of liberation.
Polish and italian anthem talk about the other one…in the italian one we talk about Russian oppression of poland
Not Russia. It’s the Austrian eagle which has sunk its talons in polish blood ( we too were part of Austria Hungary. Well in the north)
@@DavidshonfieldParla di Austria per entrambi e di Russia solo per i polacchi 😉
La musica della marsigliese fu scritta da un italiano 10 anni prima della rivoluzione quindi è un plagio....i francesi si appropriano di tutto
Italian and Poland anthems are connected with their history, ''il sangue d'Italia, il sangue polacco'' and ''march, march Dombrowski from Italy to Poland'' the 2 hymns are beautiful and powerful...
extremely proud of my land. I T A L Y for all and forever
I am Italian and this video was really good and well-made. Even before 2020 we were already singing our anthem loudly, it is one of those things that unites every Italian, but after 2020 it assumed a new meaning too. I remember those days, your reportage brought back many bad memories but also that sense of hope and "we will beat it" that we had at the time, while singing our anthem and other Italian songs from our balconies while waving our flag.
I'm so proud to have this firey Blood in my veins!
Me too.
I love this Anthem 🇮🇹❤️🇧🇩
It is impossible not to exalt ourselves and give 110% after shouting these words, “stringiamoci a coorte” means let's hold on to a coorte(the coorti were formed by several legions in the Roman army) “siam pronti alla morte l’Italia chiamò ‘ si!!” Means let's be ready for death!! Italy called! Yes!! I’an very proud of my national anthem..
This is deeply moving...gotta love the Italians
It is true that in the early 90’s no one sang the national anthem. It was for President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, in charge since 1999 to 2006. He restored the importance of things such as the national anthem, and to see sport players of Italy to sing it correctly . Before of that, patriotism was seen as sort of fascist behaviour.
And it's the same nowadays, left idiots and wake culture fans still believe that to be a patriot means to be fascist. I'm a patriot and NEVER been fascist, keep it in mind leftists, you are the real fascists
Purtroppo noi italiani troviamo unità nei simboli della nazione solo quando ci troviamo davanti a dure prove.Nell'ordinarietà siamo spesso e volentieri un popolo diviso.
That's the most beautiful thing about it! That's what unity exactly means! To become one, despite all the diversity... whenever it matters.
Quando vorresti cantarlo l'inno se non durante gli eventi importanti, e poi non è vero che siamo così divisi su dai
Ma non c'entra un cazzo il covid. Gli italiani hanno cominciato a cantare l'inno dopo che l'ha "ordinato" il Presidente Ciampi all'inizio degli anni 2000, che ha attuato una serie di azioni per riportare in alto la simbologia patria, ha rimesso la festa del 2 giugno, ha invitato gli italiani ad esporre il tricolore ai balconi e quasi ordinato agli italiani che quando suona l'inno si canta sull'attenti.
Calpesti divisi
The big shift happened somewhere in the early-mid 2000’s, when then President Ciampi made it mandatory to teaching the anthem in schools. I remember learning it and singing it very passionately already in middle school/junior high, and my generation has done it ever since
Thank You for Your video! Since 1980 , Italian People changed a lot ❤Lots of from Italy
in 1980 they didn't sing because the national anthem was a thing to hear sung by a band and it was almost never sung. Only later did we start singing because the players were expected to sing it too, not because of the covid😅
Exactly, if you watch 2006 World Cup you see them singing it loud. Only Cameronesi didn’t because he was Argentinian.. This has nothing to do with COVID.
It’s both things. In 2006 our President, who was a scholar with interest in the hymn, rounded up players and gave them a lecture on the meaning and the importance of the song. They sang it and won, so since we are superstitious people we kept at it. After covid ot took a different meaning. When all references where lost and all you could hear was the sound of ambulances, the only thing that made me feel less alone was the national anthem flash mob at 11 on Fridays. Now we sing it, with those days in mind. And those people who cannot sing it.
Siam pronti alla morte l'Italia chiamò: SI !
it's not just the anthem, we're Italian and proud of it
This video made me cry istantly, thanks for this work of art
We’ll see Gigi Buffon singing it again at euro 2024, he’s in Spletti’s staff
Great video, congratulations, but the anthem was sung with this passion even before the coronavirus. We know the great meaning of our Hymn, it was not just a question of the circumstances of that historical moment. 🇮🇹
Certainly miss hearing in at F1 podiums
a ma connaissance c'est le Président de la République Italienne, CIAMPI, qui a demandé de chanter l'hymne et ça bien avant le coronavirus!
vero
Oui, but do you seriously think that they came to their balconies only because they were asked to? or would they sing anything else if the president had asked for? 🤔
@@puzmedia Bel video se solo tu avessi rinunciato a qualche stereotipo...E comunque cantiamo con passione il nostro inno perché siamo consapevoli della nostra cultura e del contributo dato alla storia dell'umanità....e comunque da molto tempo prima della pandemia.
Sì, è vero che durante la presidenza Ciampi ci fu una grande rivalutazione dell'inno di Mameli e del tricolore. E fu Carlo Azeglio Ciampi in prima persona a spingere per una rivalutazione di questi simboli nazionali.
@@puzmediaCiampi was President of Italian Republic 15 years before the COVID pandemia...
One of the best anthems!!!!
It's the lasst word of the anthem that works the magic, plus a pretty uplifting melody.
🦅 - S.P.Q.R. - 🦅
La forza di cantare viene dai tempi delle legioni romane, dove i soldati marciavano intonando canti di lotta e di gloria. È giusto che il canto del risorgimento abbia la stessa forza e la stessa eredità del grande Impero Romano.
#italia #spqr
la Crimea e nostra !
essi noi italiani siamo proprio i figli dei romani vero ? non siamo anche misti con greci, gallici, tedeschi, arabi, croati e via ahahahha
Siam pronti alla morta!
...
Oh juremos con gloria morir!
Once again you can see how far the Italianness made its way into Argentina
This video need more likes ! Grazie mille ❤
The funny thing is that this song wasn't supposed to be a national hymn, more like a patriot song but not a hymn.
Also every time italians sing the national anthem at the end they always scream "SI" (yes) even tho is not in the text.
"Si" is written on the score.
The main reason why Italians sing the anthem is not the corona virus, It has absolutely nothing to do with it, the Italians were already singing it before. In the early 2000s, the Italian President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi implemented a series of actions to restore importance to Italian symbols. June 2nd (the day in which the Italians voted in the referendum to choose between a republic or a monarchy) returned to being a national holiday after many years in which it was no longer celebrated (and celebrated that with the Frecce Tricolori flying over the Fori Imperiali and the Vittoriano).
The president invited the Italians to display the Tricolor and demanded that the Italians (and the Italian athletes) sing the anthem, standing at attention. And it was he himself who began to do so, on every public occasion, he could be seen singing the anthem, paying homage to the flag, he called the Quirinale Palace (seat of the presidency of the republic) "the home of the Italians" etc.
He is the reason why Italians sing the anthem the way they do today and he is also the reason why it has been used as a symbol of unity during the pandemic. But this process of affection for the anthem had already happened before 2020, the Italian players at the World Cup 2006 sang the anthem just like the Italian players at Euro 2020.
In a few months, with his words and his behavior, Ciampi definitively silenced all the disputes about the anthem, finally making it the true anthem of Italy.
His politic led to the adoption of Il Canto Degli Italiani as the offical country's anthem in 2018 (yeah, it wasn't the official anthem before).
My late grandfather served as ambassador to the Italian republic and was the first of his countrymen to receive the order of merit of the Italian republic, having helped hundreds of thousands of immigrants safe passage in the 1980s, and my mother spent the latter of her teen years in Rome, and she passed down the love of the country and the Azzuri to me. Visited back in 2014 and I will always hold a special place in my heart. Forza Italia!!
Very cool! From which country?
Thank you, this was so moving!
Just found out from a friend that my tweet was used! Thank you…there really is nothing like this national anthem!
The situation was so bad that in March 2020 in Bergamo military trucks convoys were used to move coffins to be cremated in other cities, because local crematoriums could not keep up.
Great work,forza italy
Preciso! 👌
Beautiful tribute to the Italian spirit. I love Italy.
It made me cry because of this much emotion . It is incredible
As an Italian, I have to say that you brought tears to my eyes. Thanks to the algorithm for bringing me here after these 2 years.
Incredibile that somebody likes Italian anthem.
Thanks for this video. I loved it. I lost my mum on 09/04/2020 for Covid-19 and this video made me cry.
Let me explain (reference m 5,55 of the video) why there has been a change in the singing of the anthem from the 1980s to the present. Former Italian President Azeglio Ciampi (1996-2006), after noticing that our players were not singing the anthem, publicly encouraged them to do so with pride. During WWII, Ciampi he joined the Partito d'Azione and the Italian resistance movement. Due to his moral standing throughout his life, his call did not go unheard. From that moment, we Italians have proudly and passionately sung our anthem. I must say, it is among the best national anthems-not the only great one, of course, but certainly among the best.
I love the anthem of my country so much 🇮🇹❤️ (amazing video!)
As an Italian, although this story feels a bit romanticized, it is also true, and I do feel the emotion in the hymn, inside of me, I felt it even before the pandemic
Fabio Caressa's Italian commentary when Italy won Euro 2020 sums it all up.
Beautiful video! Thank you from Italy!
What's the magic? Next time you are born, select Italy as the destination of your birth. Live there a bit, learn about it a bit more. And then understand the responsibility and pride that comes with that unique background when you face the world to represent it. It's not always a success; but there are enough successes, in every single field of human existence, that warrant the passion and respect.
You screaming in a desert....my brother..... Only a few people can understand that!!!!! Inheritance of to be Italian!!!!!!!!!!.... I like your words!!!!!!... An Italian former mountain trooper Alpini 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
questo vide e'bellissimo grazie
Greattt video! Fantastic channel !
Great video 👍
Que palabras bonitas le dedicas, me has hecho llorar. 🇮🇹🇨🇺💕💕💕
Avrebbe potuto essere un video discreto se solo avessero evitato i soliti e vecchi (avete stancato!) luoghi comuni: urliamo anche quando compriamo i pomodori, oppure la famiglia di Toni Manero nella febbre del sabato sera è la tipica famiglia italiana... Come dire: mister Bean è l'inglese medio.
E tanto per essere precisi, non vi è alcuna correlazione tra il covid e l'orgoglio nel cantare l'inno.
Pensate che 25 fa , solo il 15 - 20% degli Italiani conoscevano il testo dell'inno nazionale e nessuno lo cantava in pubblico, ma grazie al presidente della repubblica Carlo Azelio Ciampi che fece una campagna pubblicitaria con CD nei giornali e nelle scuole l'inno divenne popolare e cantato da tutti
Ciampi è stato il più grande promotore e innovatore dei simboli patri.
Lo stendardo presidenziale è stata una sua commissione
Covid has nothing to do with Italians singing the anthem, it was done even before and in all the disciplines in which Italy competes or simply where there are many people and including the national anthem. Every time Ferrari wins an F1 race, the mechanics under the podium sing the anthem waving their nation's flags and have done so since the manufacturer's anthem also plays on the podium. so for decades and decades. every time Alfa Romeo won a race in the touring car championship, the podium was filled with Italian flags with men and women singing at the top of their lungs, with Lancia in the rallies, with the Olympic athletes etc. always and in any case, the national anthem was sung by the people, by the fans, by the mechanics, by the technicians etc. but not by pilots or professionals. in the 80s, making noise during the performance of any national anthem was considered a lack of respect, therefore, professionals avoided singing, but if you pay attention, you will notice that someone whispers it and others think it, yes, because inside their minds, they too were singing the national anthem. if you had added the audio during the sequence that shows us the national team of the 80s, you would have heard the entire stadium singing the national anthem, because the fans and the people couldn't care less about what the Italian sports federation thought in those years. and among those fans present in the stands of the 80s, there were children, children who in the future would become the new professionals and would carry the singing of the Italians onto the playing field. this is why today, more than yesterday, the anthem is also sung on the playing field.
They started singing the anthem only in recent years, cause journalists kept criticizing them for not doing so
Very beautiful video❤
Bel video ❤ grazie 💪❤️💪🇮🇹
Thank you for your video by a proud italian
They're love their national Anthem song
I got so emotional, just loved it💚🤍❤️
Grazie ❤
Po, poropo, poroponzi ponzi po!! Ah! Beautiful!!
Rugby team and Ferrari f1 team in the early 2000’make this happen
As an Italian, this video gives me goosebumps, because the things he said are really true, SIAM PRONTI ALLA MORTE! L'ITALIA CHIAMO!
Mameli wrote the lyrics. Michele Novaro wrote the music
Yeah, honestly I would prefer if we took football less seriously and more about serious things (economy, world affairs etc).
Unfortunately, just like Churchill said, we loose wars (or whatever other serious matter) like they were football matches and we loose football matches as if those were wars.
When you see Logan Paul at 0:17
The funny part is that the whole second verse of the CANTO DEGLI ITALIANI, is meant to be whispered.
Only reason I love the Italian National anthem is because it used to follow after the German National Anthem with conductors M.Schumacher and S.Vettel #forzaferrari #f1 #f2004
Grazie ❤!
Actually, the shift was because as you noticed, few decades ago no one was singing the anthem in major competitions. Ppl, especially politicians if I remember, begun complaining about this, about this lack of patriotism and effort in playing in the national team. After a while, football players begun singing, adding more and more passion over the years. At the beginning they were pretty shy, now they are not 😊
This is actually the Formula 1 outro song during the early late 1990's to 2000's
Do you Know that the Mameli's Anthem colled also "Il Canto degli Italiani", even if was considered as the National Athem, to say the trouth, it hadn't been the official National Athem since 2017, when the low n° 181 declared this?
Forzzzza italy❤🎉
