Fun fact. Most of people think Italians just enjoy singing a catchy Italian song before a match, while they are literally screaming in your face that they're ready to die for victory. 🤷🏻
This is correct.. our Anthem says WE ARE READY TO DIE ITALY CALLED US! means like we r ready to die for our motherland :) Motherland in italian is called PATRIA from patriotic that makes u understand how important is for us. We get taught our Anthem at school.. it give all of us the chill when we sing it! and u will find most italians sing it with an hand on their heart. very attached to our Italy :) and also in italy we say: ITALIANS ONLY KNEEL IN FRONT OF THE PATRIA (motherland) and god
Vedendo il tuo nome ti rispondo in Italiano.. Semplicemente perchè la musica non si presta ad essere cantata, che io ricordi gli unici 2 cantati a piena voce sono la Marsigliese ed il nostro inno... forse pure il god save the queen?
veramente gli italiani hanno iniziato a cantare l'inno abbastanza di recente hanno prima dei mondiali del 2006 non lo cantavano poi è stato il presidente della repubblica ciampi che ha detto che secondo lui gli sportivi devono cantare l'inno nazionale e mentre era presidente non lo hanno ascoltato ma a quanto pare ai mondiali del 2006 quando già non c'era piu lui ma cera napolitano hanno inziizto a cantarlo ma comunque la domanda rimane lecita perche nessuno ci aveva mai pensato prima?
Come significato il nostro inno puo' essere paragonato alla Marsigliese. Una marcia, un ritornello accattivante e parole che esprimono unità e fratellanza. Però... loro non ce l'hanno il SI alla fine. 😁
It's not absolutely true that the lyrics make no sense. The full version makes everything more clear. It's a celebration of the united Italy going back to the roman origins (the first part which is the one we sing) and then to the Risorgimento battles. It has a LOT of meaning
Vabbe ma parli con gente che non saprà neanche dove sta Roma! Figurarsi conoscere la storia antica o l'unità d Italia! Prima ho letto il commento di un* tizi* che scriveva in inglese "ma le Nazioni non cantano l inno perché si vergognano della loro storia"... Sotto al video che spiega a Grandi linee perché e quando è stato scritto. L analfabetismo funzionale non è una piaga solo italiana!
Credo che l'inno sia tornato in voga anche perché piano piano tutti hanno realizzato che quel "Sì" finale, aggiunto chissà come, gridato e urlato al colmo del crescendo del canto, è il perfetto riassunto di tutta la carica agonistica che gli atleti vogliono raggiungere. In contrapposizione alle note introduttive, senza canto, che quasi speriamo passino in fretta perché vogliamo iniziare a cantare :D
“Nobody really cares about the meaning of the words” yes we do, we Italians understand the words and care about the meaning of the words.. so much so in fact that we belt them out with pride..
whiston churchill once said: "the italians go to war like if they're playing a football match and they play football matches like if they're going to war"
@@sneer0101 wtf no brainwashing dude its just a cool and widespread way of singing your anthem. Where is the problem?It does not even affect the reality
Goffredo Mameli the author of the lyrics of "Il Canto degli Italiani", the national anthem of Italy , was wounded by the French while fighting in defence of the Republic of Rome on June 1849 and died one month later from gangrene at the age of 21. When he wrote “we are ready to die” he really meant it.
Infatti. Scipione sconfigge Cartagine e da li parte la conquista del mondo da parte dei Romani e la costruzione del mondo occidentale così come lo conosciamo oggi. Oscuro episodio sarà per gli ignoranti.
The Italian anthem is full of historical and cultural references. The full version is much loger and tells about the desire to unite Italy (divided when it was written) into a single big nation.
@@Goal_90 Yes, it's true. The most important in the Italian anthem is the text ... well, the music is not extraordinary ... but Italians love their anthem for the text. This text was written by a 21 yo young man just before he died in a battle, in 1849, during a war to expel the Pope from Rome and reconstitute the Roman Republic, to unify Italy. This young man was Goffredo Mameli.
Well, actually, the meaning is not so weird as we Italians consider ourselves the sons of the Roman Empire and all the references to it are not casuals: Scipio's helmet is related to Scipio, who won against Carthago extablishing Rome's power over the Mediterranean, and the fact that God has created Victory to be slave of Rome is a reference to the greatness of the Roman Empire! For us this anthem is really special and singing it is a way to feel ourselves united!
Above all, Scipio is the general who freed Italy from the Carthaginian invasion. The quote from Scipio is not accidental, even in that ancient historical period, a foreign army invaded Italy trying to dominate it ... that situation was similar to Italy in the 19th century with the Austrian occupation of Milan and Venice. Therefore Italians had to liberate Italy as Scipio did. References to ancient Rome had no imperialist significance in Italy at the time. On the contrary, the ancient Roman Republic was seen as a model for restoring political freedoms in Italy, for the social and economic progress of the reunified nation, and for living in peace and harmony with other nations.
"some obscure episode of italian history which don't have much meaning in the modern world" referred to one of the most studied wars ever happened is pretty...ignorant. Scipio is the general that lead Rome to victory during the punic wars (against Hannibales and city of Carthage) I just don't see how anyone scholarized could not know that, particularly in Italy
To understand the text of the Italian anthem, it is necessary to refer to some historical facts of Ancient Rome. The Italian anthem was written by a young patriot, Goffredo Mameli, in 1847 because he felt that Italy was finally ready (awake) to be a single nation. Start by saying: "Brothers of Italy, Italy is awake" (the time has come, Italy is ready to fight for its sovereignty) "Bound Scipio's helmet tight upon her head" Italy "wore" the helmet of Publius Cornelius Scipio who defeated the Carthaginians and Hannibal in 202 BC. to Zama; the battle decreed the end of the second Punic war, with the crushing victory of the Romans. Italy, now ready for the war of independence from Austria, figuratively surrounds the head of the helmet of Scipio as a metaphorical reminder of the heroic and valiant deeds of the ancient Romans. "Where is Victory? Let her bow down because God created her as slave of Rome" In ancient times, Victory was represented by a winged goddess with long hair. Here Mameli recalls the ancient custom of cutting the hair of war slaves. The goddess Victoria represented as a woman with long hair, should therefore offer her hair to be cut as a sign of submission to Rome: the meaning of this sentence is Mameli's certainty that, in the event of an uprising against the Austrians, Victory will not it could only be Italians because it is destiny that so wills. "Let's join together in cohort We are ready to die We are ready to die Italy has called " The cohort was a combat unit of the Roman army, made up of 600 men: it was the tenth part of a legion. "Let's join together in a cohort" therefore wants to be an exhortation to go to arms without delay, to remain united and compact, willing to die, for the liberation from the foreign oppressor. "Yes!" The final scream is the answer of these new gladiators to the homeland asking them if they are ready to die for her. ("Italy has called"). The warriors' answer to this call to arms is YES! I hope I have cleared up some doubts about the text. However, the hymn has three stanzas and we sing only the first one. The others are also very beautiful, but the first is more powerful, it makes us feel a bit like many Maximus Decimus Meridius
It’s a very complicated feeling. On one side we are very proud of our history, culture and roots. On the other we “hate” each other and we are always in competition. There’s is no way to explain this (particularly to a foreigner). It just the way it is. Italian national team is one of the few things that makes us overcome this negative energy and let Italians feel united 😉
@@Morn__ è argomento delle medie, ma comunque dopo la millesima volta che cantano l'inno magari chi non lo sapeva lo scopre. Per quanto riguarda gli altri italiani, se il nome di Scipio (Scipione l'africano) non ricorda nulla,internet è gratis.
Italian's do this right. That's how a national anthem should be sung. I saw them and even though I'm Eastern European I got somehow water in the eyes because everyone understands the love for the country.
Punic Wars are studied in history, at elementary schools and more in depth at high school. Lyrics do make a lot of sense, if it's you who snobs Roman history it's your own problem
Fratelli d’Italia L’Italia s’è desta, Dell’elmo di Scipio S’è cinta la testa Publio Cornelio Scipione, known as "L'Africano", was the Roman general and politician who won the Carthaginians and Hannibal in 202 BC. C. a Zama (present day Algeria); the battle decreed the end of the second Punic war, with the crushing victory of the Romans. Italy, now ready for the war of independence from Austria, figuratively surrounds the head of the helmet of Scipio as a metaphorical reminder of the heroic and valiant deeds of the ancient Romans. Dov’è la Vittoria? Le porga la chioma, Ché schiava di Roma Iddio la creò. It refers to the ancient custom of cutting the hair of female slaves to distinguish them from free women. The goddess Victoria should therefore offer her hair to be cut as a sign of submission to Rome. Stringiamci a coorte Siam pronti alla morte L’Italia chiamò. The "coorte" was a combat unit of the Roman army, made up of 600 men. "Stringiamoci a coorte" therefore wants to be an exhortation to go to arms without delay, to remain united and compact, willing to die, for the liberation from the foreign oppressor. Noi siamo da secoli Calpesti, derisi, Perché non siam popolo, Perché siam divisi. Raccolgaci un’unica Bandiera, una speme: Di fonderci insieme Già l’ora suonò. Stringiamci a coorte Siam pronti alla morte L’Italia chiamò. It is a call to "speme" (hope) to gather under a single banner of unity and shared ideals for an Italy, that of 1848, still divided into seven states (Kingdom of the two Sicilies, Papal State, Kingdom of Sardinia, Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, Duchy of Parma, Duchy of Modena). Uniamoci, amiamoci, l’Unione, e l’amore Rivelano ai Popoli Le vie del Signore; Giuriamo far libero Il suolo natìo: Uniti per Dio Chi vincer ci può? Stringiamci a coorte Siam pronti alla morte L’Italia chiamò. In this verse Mameli interprets the political plan of the founder of "Giovine Italia": that of achieving, through the union of all the Italian states, the realization of the republic. "Per Dio" is a Frenchism which means "through God", "by God", here understood as a supporter of oppressed peoples. Dall’Alpi a Sicilia Dovunque è Legnano The battle of Legnano, in 1176, is the one in which the Lombard League, under the command of Alberto da Giussano, defeated Frederick I of Swabia, Barbarossa. Following the defeat, the emperor, who came to Italy to assert his authority, was forced to renounce his claims of supremacy; he therefore came to terms with the Lombard cities, with which he stipulated a truce of 6 years, which was followed in 1183 by the peace of Constance in which he had to recognize the autonomy of the city. Ogn’uom di Ferruccio Ha il core, ha la mano, I bimbi d’Italia Si chiaman Balilla Another reference to foreign domination: the man mentioned is Francesco Ferrucci, who in 1530 defended Florence from the emperor Charles V. The reference to all the people of Italy is the value and courage of the legendary Balilla, the symbol of the popular revolt in Genoa against the Austro-Piedmontese coalition: it is the nickname of the child, perhaps a certain Giambattista Perasso, who on December 5 1746 threw a stone at an officer, starting the revolt that led to the liberation of the city. Il suon d’ogni squilla I Vespri suonò. Stringiamci a coorte Siam pronti alla morte L’Italia chiamò. "Il suon d'ogni squilla" means "the sound of every bell". The event referred to by Mameli is that of the "Sicilian Vespers": name given to the movement for which Sicily rose after 16 years of Angevin (French) dominion and gave itself to the Aragonese (Spanish). At Vespers on Easter Monday on March 31, 1282, all the bells rang out to urge the people of Palermo to insurrection against the French. Son giunchi che piegano Le spade vendute: Già l’Aquila d’Austria Le penne ha perdute. Il sangue d’Italia, Il sangue Polacco, Bevé, col cosacco, Ma il cor le bruciò. Stringiamci a coorte Siam pronti alla morte L’Italia chiamò. Austria of the Habsburgs (of which the double-headed eagle was the imperial symbol) was in decline (the swords sold are the mercenary troops of which the imperial army was full) and Mameli calls the people one last time to gather italics to give the coup de grace to the Austrian domination with a parallelism with Poland. Between 1772 and 1795, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, together with Russia (the "Cosacco") had invaded Poland. But the blood of the two oppressed peoples, the Italian and the Pole, can turn into poison through the uprising against the foreign oppressor. In the original version of the hymn, the first verse of the first verse read "Evviva l'Italia", Mameli then changed it to "Fratelli d'Italia" almost certainly at the suggestion of Michele Novaro himself. The latter, when he received the manuscript, also added a boisterous "Si!" at the end of the chorus sung after the last verse. There are two autographed manuscripts that have come down to the present day: the first, the original one linked to the first draft, is located at the Istituto Mazzini di Genova, while the second, the one sent by Mameli on 10 November 1847 to Novaro, is kept in the Museo del Risorgimento di Torino. The autographed manuscript that Novaro sent to the publisher Francesco Lucca is instead located in Milano, in the Archivio Storico Ricordi in Milano. For decades there has been debate at government and parliamentary level on the need to make the Canto degli Italiani, the anthem of the Italian Republic, without however reaching the approval of a law or a constitutional amendment that sanctioned the state of affairs, also recognized in all institutional offices, until 4 December 2017. On 30 December 2017, La Repubblica recognizes the text of Goffredo Mameli's «Canto degli italiani» and the original musical score of Michele Novaro as its national anthem. Unfortunately, however, the implementing decree is still missing. Incredibly, for 71 years, 'Fratelli d'Italia' has been provisional: since, on 12 October 1946, the Council of Ministers - then led by Alcide De Gasperi - "on the proposal of the Minister of War", established that as a national anthem for the ceremony of the oath of the Armed Forces of the following November 4: but, in fact, "provisionally". Three legislatures in these 71 years (the 14th, 15th and 16th) have tried to give the hymn the dignity of law, but all the projects presented have begun parliamentary examination, without however ever being approved.
I think it is a combination of the pride of the Italian people and the rhythmic and musical structure of the anthem itself. I myself find this anthem one of the most uplifting in terms of rhythm. You don't even have to know the lyrics. This anthem takes the edge even from the famous Marseillaise. Saluti fratelli Italiani dalla Grecia.
More than pride... will be passionate as Italian and I think this known worldview wide Football is like a religion for us...One of the things that can group us together is the azzurra and the honor & passion they bring to the field and singing our anthem. We live for football die 4 football 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌
Hi brother! Greece is the only country we really care about. I don't know if greeks care about italians, but for sure every italian wish the best to greeks
First of all, in italy we know the meaning of our anathem and that’s why we sing it with this passion, at the end the anathem say “we are ready to die italy has called” and we scream “YES” because we are ready to figth and die for our country and our people
Gianmarco Ripani - Purtroppo non lo credo molto. LA maggior parte degli italiani quando canta l'inno pensa che l'Italia sia nata da Iddio: sbagliato. E' la Vittoria che è stata creata da Dio come schiava di Roma. Concetto molto più profondo. L'talia come ho già detto all'inizio dei miei interventi viene detta invincibile perché Iddio ha creato come sua schiava la Vittoria che le deve porgere la chioma in segno di sottomissione. Riguardati i commenti all'inizio dei posts. Siamo poi realmente disposti a morire per la patria? L'unico inno, scritto pressappoco nello stesso periodo del nostro, che non fa appello alla morte è quello francese. Francamente preferirei sedermi intorno a un tavolo e trovare un accordo che vada bene a tutte le parti in gioco: questo è stato il discorso rivoluzionario e lungimirante dei capi di stato e governo quando hanno fondato le Comunità Economiche Europee. Fondare l'interesse comune per un futuro di pace dell'Europa. Era un discorso nuovo dopo venti secoli di guerre. Non trovi? Infatti abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vivere 75 anni in pace in un continente che in passato aveva esportato ben 3 guerre mondiali (non dimentichiamoci poi la guerra dei sette anni nel settecento), per non contare la guerra dei CENTO anni o quella dei TRENT'anni: uno nasceva in guerra e conduceva tutta la sua esistenza contorniato da, se non a fare la guerra: è una bella cosa questa? Riconosciamolo: siamo stati i guerrafondai del mondo. Se non siamo capaci di riconoscere questo abbiamo mancato di apprendere una lezione importante del ns passato che rifaremo in futuro. Pace, collaborazione, destino comune, stessa storia e valori condivisi questi sono stati i nuovi presupposti per un'Europa diversa, solidale e inclusiva, democratica - dopo cosi tante feroci dittature.
@@bachisio2140 a dire il vero i guerrafondai "del mondo" negli ultimissimi secoli son stati gli spagnoli, poi i francesi, poi gli inglesi e ora gli USA. hanno creato imperi fino a spartirsi il mondo (russia e austria almeno si accontentavano dei vicini di casa, gli altri andavano a invadere e sterminare popoli tecnologicamente arretrati in tutto il mondo. infami. tedeschi e giapponesi in un time lapse della storia manco ne scorgi l'impero che dura pochissimi anni...). noi italiani dopo aver dominato il mediterraneo con roma ci siam tolti ogni sfizio e ora siam ben più pacifici di molti altri popoli. lo dicono molti esperti di geopolitica, criticandoci inoltre, non io, sia chiaro. inoltre la guerra a cui chiama il ragazzino mameli è una guerra di liberazione dato che altre nazioni erano venute a conquistarci, in modo particolare l'austria, impero di mille popoli e mille lingue, sbriciolato dopo la prima guerra mondiale. quindi NO, non siamo stati noi italiani i guerrafondai degli ultimi secoli. il primato spetta sicuramente agli inglesi. credo che qualcosa come "la guerra dell'oppio" abbia raggiunto livelli insuperabili di indecenza. ora io vivo in messico, e ti assicuro che il 90% della popolazione ha tipici tratti fisiognomici degli antichi aztechi e maya. vai pure a guardare la percentuale di abitanti USA che lontanamente somiglia a un aborigeno americano. 0,1%... se siamo fortunati, ma credo molto meno. li hanno ammazzati tutti, altro che hitler, era un dilettante. tutti li hanno sterminati, e visto che non gli bastava hanno trascinato milioni di neri africani a lavorare gratis come schiavi per loro... schiavitù che era roba quasi scomparsa già nel medioevo e ce ne voleva per aver il coraggio di ritirarla fuori dopo secoli di "civiltà"... poi si, "E' la Vittoria che è stata creata da Dio come schiava di Roma."; però no, l'inno francese è stracolmo di sangue, e molto di più del nostro!! inoltre anche di guerra civile fratricida. vai a leggertelo, per favore: "il giorno della gloria è arrivato! Contro di noi si è alzata La bandiera insanguinata della tirannia ! ... Ululare questi feroci soldati? ... Per sgozzare i nostri figli e i nostri compagni ! Alle armi, cittadini ! Formate i vostri battaglioni ! ... Che un sangue impuro Bagni i nostri solchi ! Cosa vuole quest'orda di schiavi, di traditori, di re congiurati? Per chi queste ignobili catene, questi ferri a lungo preparati? Questi ferri a lungo preparati? Francesi, per noi, ah! Che oltraggio! Che rabbia deve suscitare ! ... Che !?! Queste corti straniere Detterebbero legge a casa nostra ! Queste falangi mercenarie Abbatterebbero i nostri fieri guerrieri! ... Si è tutti soldati per combattere contro di voi, se muoiono, i nostri giovani eroi la terra ne produrrà di nuovi, contro di voi saremo tutti pronti a combattere! ... sopravvivere meno gelosamente di loro che di dividere la loro bara noi avremo l'orgoglio sublime di vendicarli o seguirli!" non c'è inno più sanguinario di quello francese... ed è parecchio risaputo. nel nostro, almeno, a un certo punto si dice: "Uniamoci, amiamoci, l'unione e l'amore rivelano ai popoli le vie del Signore;" come vedi nulla da intransigente nazionalismo da "razza superiore", in quanto espressamente dice "ai popoli"... mentre nell'inno francese... pfff.... "sangue impuro", "orda di schiavi", "oltraggio", "rabbia", "a casa nostra", "orgoglio sublime di vendicarli"... tipica grandeur francese, cosa che proprio non ci appartiene. dai, su... per favore. è da secoli che noi italiani siamo agnellini e per questo ne approfittano gli altri che agnellini non sono... e anche la questione dei 75 anni di pace... ni... fino all'89 c'era il muro di berlino e l'europa era divisa in due in una reale guerra fredda, la prima che ha messo a repentaglio l'esistenza di tutta l'umanità per lo straordinario armamento nucleare che ne sarebbe bastato un quinto per cancellare la vita dal pianeta per come la conosciamo... troppa retorica da prof del liceo... la storia è altra e continua con le sue infami contraddizioni come la scelta della francia, pochi anni fa, di attaccare la libia quando avevamo appena stretto con loro un trattato che ci imponeva di entrare in guerra contro chi la avesse attaccata... se ne sono fregati... e per pure questioni di petrolio e soldi i francesi (e gli amichetti USA) se ne sono fregati e ci hanno umiliato e gettato una nazione nel caos, la libia, senza alcun diritto. per non parlare di ben altre cose, tipo come hanno umiliato la grecia, patria dell'occidente, per un debito che potevamo tranquillamente accollarci come facciamo da decenni in italia con la calabria o negli usa con la california... 434 miliardi di dollari... vai a guardarti quanto era quello della grecia. gli hanno portato via porti, aeroporti, isole,... e la hanno persino obbligata a irrazionali umiliazioni come comprare sottomarini tedeschi per poter accedere al prestito da strozzini... insomma, occhio ai lupi vestiti da pecora e non denigrare tanto la tua patria, che c'è molto, molto, di peggio, né illuditi che se i padroni fossero i cinesi o altri le cose andrebbero meglio... pure i loro concittadini trattano come cani schiavi, figuriamoci gli stranieri...
@@danilo4631 Ringrazio della tua lunga risposta. Che l'Italia si sia accontentata delle briciole nella spartizione delle colonie è risaputo da tutti e che si sia 'solo' al nono posto per esportazioni di armi al mondo dopo Stati Uniti, Russia e altri paesi Europei e Israele non fa del nostro paese propriamente un 'agnellino' di cui gli altri si approfittano. Non è stata e non è mia intenzione denigrare il ns paese, come dici tu, me ne guarderei bene. Tuttavia chi si approfitta di noi magari ci punta contro proprio le armi che gli abbiamo fornito... E quindi non capisco quale retorica vorresti sostituire a quella del prof. del liceo. Scusa sono un po' tardo.
@@bachisio2140 ma no, chi davvero si approfitta di noi non ha bisogno delle nostre armi. si fabbrica le sue. abbiamo perso la seconda guerra mondiale e come giappone e germania abbiamo sul nostro suolo un numero di basi USA di gran lunga superiore a quello di qualsiasi altra nazione NATO. le armi le vendono tutti, ma proprio tutti quelli che le sanno produrre. noi siamo una nazione manifatturiera e sappiamo fare bene auto e cose simili meccaniche. eredità della seconda guerra mondiale. non per altro germania, italia, giappone, USA... brillano come produttrici di veicoli e altre cose meccaniche. chi non le sa produrre si limita a comprarle il problema è poi chi le usa e come. non le comprassero da noi potrebbero sempre comprarle da altri. tranquillo che non si metterebbero a piangere. spesso, inoltre, sono aziende private che producono e vendono armi. io parlo di Italia stato. non so quale retorica tu abbia scorto nel mio testo. tutte le informazioni che ho messo, se non ricordo male, sono di dominio pubblico, a partire dalla marsigliese. la definizione di Italia come agnellino che arriva davvero a credere che le missioni di pace, siano di pace,... non è mia ma degli esperti di geopolitica. se non conosci la cosa ti consiglio questo canale youtube: th-cam.com/users/LimesGeopolitics o se preferisci puoi comprare la rivista nelle edicole. giusto per fare un esempio ultimamente stanno discutendo molto di come altre nazioni, turchia, algeria, tunisia... si stiano intestando parti del mediterraneo fino a pochi km dalle nostre coste e ci sono stati persino casi di pescatori italiani che son stati sequestrati dalle forze navali di altri paesi perché accusati di essere entrati in acque che loro hanno unilateralmente definito loro... se vai a veder le mappe ti renderai subito conto che persino stati parecchio deboli come l'algeria non si preoccupano di sfidare l'Italia. famoso anche il caso dei marò finiti in galera in india mentre facevano servizio di difesa di navi contro i pirati. cose che non succederebbero a soldati francesi, usa, russi,... ma nulla, son tutte cose che troverai ben spiegate dagli esperti di limes. inutile che mi dilunghi io a spiegar male ciò che loro spiegano molto meglio. buona visione o lettura. puoi anche considerare la questione da un altro punto di vista, considerando anche la violenza domestica, la spesa per armamenti, ecc... www.focus.it/cultura/curiosita/i-paesi-piu-pacifici-al-mondo per esempio a me fa sempre ridere quando ascolto politici che gridano a "emergenza sicurezza" in Italia. in Italia ci sono in media solo 400 omicidi all'anno, quasi totalmente relazionati a dinamiche famigliari. in Messico, per esempio, 40.000 omicidi ogni anno, più di 100 al giorno, e, seppur le statistiche su questo punto siano incerte, per volare basso almeno 5000 desaparecidos... ma non mi stupirei fossero persino il doppio. fenomeno davvero inquietante che si tocca con mano dato che i pali della luce sono coperti da volantini con facce di persone scomparse che la famiglia cerca. ormai ho smesso di leggere il giornale perché è davvero agghiacciante. in Italia quando scompare e muore una Yara te ne parlano per dieci anni in tv... in messico se va bene compare in un trafiletto a pag 16 del giornale una volta e poi non se ne parla più. ci si resta male quando arrivi al lavoro e il collega ti racconta ridendo della sparatoria nel parcheggio del supermercato con tanto di cadavere a cui ha fatto la foto... sinceramente non mi ci sono ancora abituato. chiunque ha un po' viaggiato fuori europa sa di cosa parlo (viaggiato neh, non andato due settimane al villaggio valtour, ma vissuto, lavorato, alloggiato nei quartieri "popolari"...) in Italia mai avuto paura, manco sbronzissimo alle 4 di mattina quando ti incroci per torino 8 extracomunitari che, "giustamente", provano ad approfittarsi della tua poca lucidità e rubarti il portafoglio... il giorno dopo li rincontri e ti salutano persino con rispetto (cosa successa...) qui in messico possono estrarre una pistola e spararti in faccia perché per lo shock hai atteso 1 secondo di più a tirar fuori il portafoglio o dare il cellulare... qui mi cago sotto e in certe zone non ci passo e ho imparato a dare retta alla mia ragazza che già dopo le 11 è meglio non uscire a comprare a piedi le sigarette. poi oh, se vai nel caribe e nelle zone dei turisti, tranquillo che non ti succede nulla. e pensa che nella mia città da giovane ero persino uno di quelli che facevano paura... tempi dei centri sociali occupati, microcriminalità, ecc... qui sembro un cucciolotto, un mio minipony... il mondo fa abbastanza schifo e l'Italia è una oasi, un parco giochi per bambini. si, per fortuna siamo agnellini.
2 fun fact: The anthem that they put before the matches is a "short" version, because the anthem continues for other verses, and one of these verses is "già il sangue d'Italia e il sangue polacco bevè col cosacco ma il cor le bruciò" Which is a reference to the Austrians and Russians (Cosacchi) That they oppressed Italians and Poles, but that sooner or later these peoples would rebel against Austrian/Russian domination and "burned their hearts"(of the austrian and Russians) . The funny thing is that in the Polish national anthem there is a reference to Italy: Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski, z ziemi włoskiej do Polski (March, Dąbrowski, from Italian land to Poland)A reference to General Dąbrowski's soldiers who asked their to bring them back to Poland since at that time they were in Italy in the city of Reggio Emilia To fight alongside Napoleon who had promised to the Poles to remake Poland a independently nation after the partition of 1795. That makes Italy and Poland the only two nations to refer to each other In their national anthems
@@sonjuu I am from Reggio Emilia, it is a little city of 200.000 ab in Emilia-Romagna, and this one is the region. There's difference between Reggio Emilia and Emilia Romagna.
The best national anthem in the world. Especially for sporting events. Italy doesn’t need a classical pretentious anthem, Italians invented the piano, violin, opera, ballet. It’s a battle hymn for national unity, historical respect and victory.🇮🇹🏆🇮🇹.
@Yair Nahum Evreuklovic i mean guys.. i am italian but.. Austria, Russia, France.. in my opinion they had the best musicians for sure and you can tell that by listening to their anthems..
@@tescOne Probabilmente, stai confondendo l'importanza del compositore e magari la bellezza della composizione con quello che poi deve essere il risultato, ovvero un motivo facile che possa essere cantato a voce piena con un testo evocativo che rispecchi le origini di quel paese. L' equazione grande compositore = grande inno non è detto che funzioni sempre, anzi.. anche perchè oltre alla composizione c'è pure il testo, è un mix di cose secondo me... Ricordo una lezione di storia della musica con il mio maestro che se la ridacchiava perchè la Marsigliese sarebbe frutto di un compositore Italiano, non chiedermi il nome che non lo ricordo ma se cerchi su google scommetto che trovi tutto.. i Francesi non lo ammetteranno mai ma effettivamente è stato composto da uno sconosciutissimo compositore Italiano.. Questo per dirti che musicalmente non è una sinfonia quella richiesta ma qualcosa di profondamente orecchiabile e che sia cantabile... Troppo facile per un grande compositore!
Italian here. I can't really tell why we love it so much. But we do. Since elementary school we all become obsessed with it i guess. Especially because at the very end you must scream "yes" and it's so liberating. I joined all matches well in advance this year in order to sing the anthem with the team, I can't miss the moment, and every time, every time, I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. It's so beautiful, it makes you feel like you are part of something you should be proud for.
Io invece in questi euroei mi sono perso la prima partita e l'inno della seconda partita, quindi siccome hanno vinto 3-0 ho deciso di non ascoltarlo neanche nelle successive. Così, per scaramanzia. Un po' di sofferenza... non è vero e non ci credo, ma male non ha portato :)
I'm a Muslim Malaysians and I say keep that alive for eternal times. Today, especially in Europe there are so many things, factors, movements trying to make Europeans be less proud of their origins and their achievements. Just look at countries like France, UK, Germany. If only they're as proud Europeans as the Italians.
@@aizac91Italian here, you are totally right, the english anthem talks about the Queen and most of the german anthem was censored since It talked about germany ruling the world, on the other hand, the Italian anthem talks about our unity and us fighting for liberation from oppression and foreign control, in the First part It talks about the Battle of the punic Wars of "Scipio" against Hannibal, and the coheants(Sorry for english)that are ready to die for their country, in the second part It talks about the people's being scared and so It Is sang more quietly, in the third part people's get courage and fight for their country, an example could be the boys from 1899 that fought against Austria hungary for their country, also, the flag has different meanings, i only Remember the Red part meaning, It representd the Italians and poles that fought with us for liberation, also to know how much pride we got you should Also listrn to "Il Piave mormorò - 24 maggio" It Is a Song against Austria hungary, see ya!
Because anthems have different meaning to different peoples. For example, here nobody gives a shit about the swiss anthem because it's nothing but an old prayer that tells nothing about the country or its people. So players don't sing it because nobody really cares and very few people actually know the whole lyrics. Doesn't help that it exists in four languages and it's a mess if everyone tries to sing it in their own language, be it german, french, italian or rumantsch Italians love theirs and i am happy for them, but anthems are just not that big of a deal to everyone

Since Italy has an history in Opera, the lyrics need to be sing in different tones. The first verse is loud and is intended as a call at arms. The second verse is much quieter and represents the people, scared and incredulous. The last one are the people getting courage and say: let’s come together and fight and die for our country. It was written not as a song but more like a theatrical scene. That was Mameli’s intent
Yeah, as an Italian, I'm very happy there's someone really understanding the real conception of our anthem (as an opera piece) Only a mistake: it was NOVARO's intent: Mameli only wrote the lyrics
"no meaning in the modern world" if Rome lost the Punic wars the center of civilization would be in Carthage, changing the world to a degree we can't even calculate, but it doesn't matter as long as football comes home, right?
Another thing is we don't play or sing the anthem very often. National days, official governement events and international sport events, so when we sing it, it mean something.

Even though I'm not Italian, I can tell you that it make A LOT OF SENSE.. in fact, it's such a meaningful and rich anthem with references to their ancient history and mythology..it brings me down to tears.. and there will never be a better national anthem... absolutely love this nation
SO, here's a part of the story about players singing our anthem: Italian players have never been used to sing it for decades. In fact, they didn't sing it at all. This generated some controversies from time to time but it wasn't such a big deal. We (as Italian supporters) envied a little bit other nations with more passionate players but that was it. The change of pace happened right before the 2006 World Cup. The big scandal concerning italian football (and some minor scandals before) mined the National Team credibility in the eyes of italian people, but the guys in the squad really wanted to demonstrate with fact that they were, in fact, representing our Country when playing. That they were united as one and ready to fight for the credibility of our football. And what better way than to sing our anthem out loud? It was a pretty fortunate event considering that it happened right before winning it all in 2006, and I guess that helped to cement that new habbit. After 15 years it's still there, luckily
Obscure episodes of Italian history?!? I thought that Scipio's victory during the 2nd Punic war was something every Western student studies. In other countries nobody studies Roman history?
i'm from Morocco and we took history class about the punic wars in elementary school, albeit in brief while studying the history of Morocco and North africa.
I'm Italian, and the reason is because we Italians live football in a passionate way, and between us there is a lot of rivalry between teams, but the national team is the only thing that unites the Italian passion for football, besides our anthem. it contains our entire history and represents the union of a people.
I'm sorry but the translation of the hymn is not correct. Victory is a slave of Rome not Italy: meaning that Italy has been created by God to be victorious because victory is a slave of Rome: Roma caput mundi in Latin, which means Rome capital of the world because it's one of the most ancient cities, the cradle of western culture and civilization together with Greece.
@@SimBar95x Thank you for your answer. At 1.46 you can read the translation of the lyrics: in the second line HER is clearly referred to ITALY; but in the third and fourth line who are the two HER referred to? ITALY again or VICTORY? This time they refer to VICTORY, otherwise the meaning changes into 'Italy is a slave of Rome' and surely nobody in this country wants to be a slave of no one in the world. HER in the third and fourth lines refers to VICTORY: in this way ITALY is bound to be vicroious because VICTORY is a slave of Rome. Got it?
@@rvscitoold3816 Ne sei proprio sicuro? Cito Fabrizio Coppola (vedi nei commenti): "Esatto! The war is the football match that we are going to play for the sake of our glory.

As an Italian military, but above all as an Italian citizen, since I was a kid, I have always loved our anthem. Still, every single time I hear it, I get excited and sparkle in my eyes, sometimes even a few small tears fall. Really, I don't understand why other nations don't have this feeling towards their own anthem.
Molti inni nazionali sono marce reali che non coinvolgono direttamente i popoli dei rispettivi paesi. Il nostro inno invece lo fa: è stato composto durante il Risorgimento PER il Risorgimento, e non piaceva alla monarchia e al fascismo (infatti anche qua si usava la marcia reale come inno). Secondo me, la fine della monarchia e del fascismo ha dato una grossa spinta alla nostra passione per il nostro inno.

It has many references to italic history and not the Italian one. This because when it was written Italy was not a real nation, it was divided into many dominations and governed by foreigns countries by centuries like Austria and Spain. But this feelings of freedom and indipendente was really strong in 19th century and it was a sort of recall of the myth of old Roman empire of firsts century after Christ.

2:18 “Some of the lyrics relate to some fairly obscure episodes of Italian history and don’t have much meaning in the modern world”. For Italians those episodes are not obscure and meaningless, we all study Roman history and we know it’s referring to the battle against Carthaginian general Hannibal where Rome won. We know we have thousands of years of great history and that unites and motivates us. Maybe it’s hard to comprehend for someone living in a country where people at that time used to go naked in the woods hunting for marmots.

Italians call it the "anthem of Mameli", but Mameli wrote just the lyrics, the greatest part that maked this anthem stratospheric is the music written by Michele Novaro
I cried even just seeing the text of my hymn in English. For centuries we have been hindered by other European powers who did not want a unitary state in the Mediterranean. We have won independence by paying with blood, every family paid with blood not even 100 years ago.
You could hear a roaring SÌ coming from outside the windows, literally the whole country screamed it at the same time from home, bars, streets everywhere
Italians are the most proud country I know, Poland where I come from is just after them. And our anthems have something in common. We both sing about our countries.
It' s not a casuality that actually Poland is cited in the final verses of our italian anthem as a proud example of resistance against common foreign invaders (Austria) : " Già l'Aquila d'Austria Le penne ha perdute. Il sangue d'Italia (Italian blood) E il sangue Polacco (Polish blood) Bevé col Cosacco, Ma il cor le bruciò."
There are only 2 Anthems that give me goosebumps everytime I sing them: Irish (Amhrán na bhFiann) and the Italian (Inno di Mameli). And I sang this with gusto on Sunday. I'd say I love both as they were written during times of struggle and the lyrics have such meaning and once you understand what you are singing, it does bring emotion. I doubt they will ever change it. It means so much to the people and even if you don't understand it, you can see the passion and pride. Forza Italia 🇮🇹 e Irlanda 🇮🇪
If I well remember it was ct Trapattoni some years later that tried to taught the national anthem to those player who didn't know it and made sing all of them. Since 2006 they've never stop to sing with passion
I think we scream our anthem because the rhythm is increasing, but I personally do it also because the anthem is about the Italian wars of independence and the full version contains several references to battles for independence such as the Genoa revolt or the battle of Legnano and the same author of the hymn (Mameli) died at the age of 22 fighting for national unity; but also because Italy has been disunited and occupied by foreign powers for 13 centuries since it was the main Roman province (the only province in which the inhabitants had citizenship for most of Roman history). So to me this hymn is like the scream of someone who has been oppressed for so long and is now free, and I think I'm not the only one who sees it that way.
All correct, but Italy was not a province. Italy was the metropole of Rome: it was a state, basically. Indeed a famous Roman saying " Italia non erat provincia, sed domina provinciarum". "Domina provinciarum" means Ruler of the provinces. Another epithet was "Rectrix mundi" (the one who sustains the world).
The answer is in the third strophe of the hymn, which translates to "by centuries we were stepped on 'n' derided / because we're not a people, because we're divided / May hope (of unity) and a single banner gather us; the hour of fusing togheter has rung!
As a Chilean-Italian I thought it was totally normal to sing the anthems like that, at my school, an italian school in Chile, at ceremonies we sing both anthems and its really beautiful
From an italian, Behind this National anthem; there's the story, the love, the respect of all grandpa that have to fight for freedom. i'm no talking about the lyrics, the sound for us it's as a call to stay united and keep fighting together. Siam pronti alla morte, l'Italia chiamò. Si!!!!
I LOVE the Italian Anthem, I also love "Va, Pensiero", also known as the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves, especially when a stadium of Italians singing it all in unison. Scotland's "OH FLOWER OF SCOTLAND" is another nation that belts it out when singing.
Forza italia , we the people of Scotland salute and love you . Forever our brothers and sisters ! 5 million scots stood as one and cheered you too victory X
As an Italian I say that our anthem represents our history, the dream of having a united Italy since the end of the 19th century. Italy in moments of difficulty pulls out the balls. It is more beautiful to be Italian
As an italian, I say our anthem is boring & pathetic.... means nothing to me... lines are old, almost meaningless, the language used is outdated... Yes, just like may other anthems... But here we're talking about ours...
@@giannivolata e pensare invece che il significato delle parole e la storia dietro sono pieni di significato e storia.

So sad that southern Italians sing it. A little more than 100 years after their great grandparents were massacred or forced to immigrate to the Americas from the Two Sicilies. Sad to see Gattuso, Donnarumma, Insigne, Scilaci sing this. Like Holland singing Deutschland Uber Alles.....

The fact is that the Italian words used for the anthem are quite archaic and a lot of them belong to the military language, so it is quite difficult to understand for Italians too
Two things: in the late 90s early 2000s the media used to criticise our players because they didn’t sing the anthem. The boys either didn’t know the words or didn’t bother to sing loudly. After years of accusations of not being patriotic enough, they slowly started singing more and more loudly as well as putting their arms around each other’s shoulders. The other thing is that a big part of the passion you feel and is captured by photos is the “SÌ” at the end, which make our players scream. Well, that “sì” (yes) isn’t officially part of the lyrics😅
Was it case for all of you Italians? Your Tifosi's singing at Italian Grand Prix are probably the most popular and loved crowd among all disciplines :D
@@ricer34567 I'd probably say Yes. Only after Ciampi's presidence (1999-2005) the italian anthem was brought to the top, before of that period it was just the "song" played before ceremonies and not something related to the passion or the pride to be italian. In those years the "canto degli italiani" was taught and studied at schools and then sung proudly and loudly in stadiums and even circuits (one of my best infance memories is Schumacher directing a fake orchestra during the execution of our anthem)
It's so goddamn cool to watch, the lyrics are hard AF and definitely hypes them up, i love it. Forza Italia, well deserved victory over England, definitely the better team
*Alternative explanation* : Italians player are actually born and raised in Italy (unlike France or the rest of western european nations teams)😂Their anthem actually means something for them.
As Jorginho stated, the Anthem make us remember al the battles we fought in life and that lead us to this moment. I didn't realize it at first, but I'm sure every Italian deeply feel the same, every time.
Legitimately ! Their anthem encapsulates their people, their food, their passion, their culture. Passionate, upbeat Lively and Loveable! Their cars, Their food, their culture, Vibrant, Flamboyant and beautiful!
Furthermore, "Il canto degli Italiani" (the title of the song) is most usually referred to as "L'inno di Mameli", "The hymn of Mameli", Mameli being a 21 years old patriot who wrote the lyrics for which the older Michele Novaro later composed the music (with the clear intent of writing a melody as popular and easy to sing as possible. Very soon the hymn gained popularity across Italy, to the point of it being outlawed by some of the pre-unitarian states.
italian here. the best part is at the end. Italy has called and we shout "YES" as an answer. It's like we are confirming, everytime the anthem is sung, that we are there and present, supporting or fighting for the nation and italians likewise. and that's what give everyone the chills even if they're not italian speaking: that exact feeling we are singing
@@robertomoccia8305 Bro con tutto il rispetto ma ogni partita della Francia a sto europeo mi ha fatto cascare i coglioni, poi ovviamente loro sono i favoriti per la squadra che hanno
How to interpret the "obscure" words of the Italian anthem for dummies: -The helmet of Scipio indicates Scipio the African, Undefeated Roman general in the campaign against Carthage, after Hannibal attempted the invasion of Rome. -"hand her hair" (le porga la chioma) indicates the act of submission of the slaves and the consequent shaving of their hair in ancient Rome. - "Vittoria" (Victory) is not a noun, but a material divine personification of a woman, like all Roman deities. -The "Italia", as for the victory, is a physical figure who, wearing the helmet of Scipio, summons the Italians to fight, to the death, as the Roman general did. The whole anthem is an exchange between Vittoria (who is a physical figure similar to a military commander) and her troops (the Italians), she who convinces them that she will intercede to give them victory and the people who respond that it will follow it until death, as in the examples of the past.
Fun fact. Most of people think Italians just enjoy singing a catchy Italian song before a match, while they are literally screaming in your face that they're ready to die for victory. 🤷🏻
Yes , already closing combat in Cohortes Roman battle formation.
This is correct.. our Anthem says WE ARE READY TO DIE ITALY CALLED US! means like we r ready to die for our motherland :) Motherland in italian is called PATRIA from patriotic that makes u understand how important is for us.

@@Goal_90 Yes, it's true. The most important in the Italian anthem is the text ... well, the music is not extraordinary ... but Italians love their anthem for the text. This text was written by a 21 yo young man just before he died in a battle, in 1849, during a war to expel the Pope from Rome and reconstitute the Roman Republic, to unify Italy. This young man was Goffredo Mameli.
Well, actually, the meaning is not so weird as we Italians consider ourselves the sons of the Roman Empire and all the references to it are not casuals: Scipio's helmet is related to Scipio, who won against Carthago extablishing Rome's power over the Mediterranean, and the fact that God has created Victory to be slave of Rome is a reference to the greatness of the Roman Empire!

Above all, Scipio is the general who freed Italy from the Carthaginian invasion. The quote from Scipio is not accidental, even in that ancient historical period, a foreign army invaded Italy trying to dominate it ... that situation was similar to Italy in the 19th century with the Austrian occupation of Milan and Venice. Therefore Italians had to liberate Italy as Scipio did. References to ancient Rome had no imperialist significance in Italy at the time. On the contrary, the ancient Roman Republic was seen as a model for restoring political freedoms in Italy, for the social and economic progress of the reunified nation, and for living in peace and harmony with other nations.
"some obscure episode of italian history which don't have much meaning in the modern world" referred to one of the most studied wars ever happened is pretty...ignorant.

Btw "scholarized" makes perfectly sense. If it's not a word, then it should be 😌
To understand the text of the Italian anthem, it is necessary to refer to some historical facts of Ancient Rome.
The Italian anthem was written by a young patriot, Goffredo Mameli, in 1847 because he felt that Italy was finally ready (awake) to be a single nation.
Start by saying:
"Brothers of Italy, Italy is awake" (the time has come, Italy is ready to fight for its sovereignty)
"Bound Scipio's helmet tight upon her head"
Italy "wore" the helmet of Publius Cornelius Scipio who defeated the Carthaginians and Hannibal in 202 BC. to Zama; the battle decreed the end of the second Punic war, with the crushing victory of the Romans. Italy, now ready for the war of independence from Austria, figuratively surrounds the head of the helmet of Scipio as a metaphorical reminder of the heroic and valiant deeds of the ancient Romans.
"Where is Victory? Let her bow down because God created her as slave of Rome"
In ancient times, Victory was represented by a winged goddess with long hair.
Here Mameli recalls the ancient custom of cutting the hair of war slaves. The goddess Victoria represented as a woman with long hair, should therefore offer her hair to be cut as a sign of submission to Rome: the meaning of this sentence is Mameli's certainty that, in the event of an uprising against the Austrians, Victory will not it could only be Italians because it is destiny that so wills.
"Let's join together in cohort
We are ready to die
We are ready to die
Italy has called "
The cohort was a combat unit of the Roman army, made up of 600 men: it was the tenth part of a legion. "Let's join together in a cohort" therefore wants to be an exhortation to go to arms without delay, to remain united and compact, willing to die, for the liberation from the foreign oppressor.
"Yes!"
The final scream is the answer of these new gladiators to the homeland asking them if they are ready to die for her. ("Italy has called"). The warriors' answer to this call to arms is YES!
I hope I have cleared up some doubts about the text. However, the hymn has three stanzas and we sing only the first one. The others are also very beautiful, but the first is more powerful, it makes us feel a bit like many Maximus Decimus Meridius
Well explained!
Il fatto e' che nel mondo non c'e' tanta cultura per questo spesso gli stranieri non capiscono le cose italiane
L'ho compreso meglio grazie al tuo commento, gg
Sei stato bravissimo/a. Ti ringrazio molto
gran bella spiega, grazie!
Italy has a great culture which is admired world wide, they should be proud.
Thank you
we are
Yes we are
It’s a very complicated feeling. On one side we are very proud of our history, culture and roots. On the other we “hate” each other and we are always in competition. There’s is no way to explain this (particularly to a foreigner). It just the way it is. Italian national team is one of the few things that makes us overcome this negative energy and let Italians feel united 😉
full of racists ^^ for real ask any italian that doesn‘t live in italy.
"do the words make any sense?" Yes they do wtf😂 Italians study their history, Scipio' s campaigns are not an obscure Italian history episode 😂
Well said!

Non penso che i calciatori abbiano la minima idea di chi sia Scipio
@@Morn__ è argomento delle medie, ma comunque dopo la millesima volta che cantano l'inno magari chi non lo sapeva lo scopre. Per quanto riguarda gli altri italiani, se il nome di Scipio (Scipione l'africano) non ricorda nulla,internet è gratis.

Disrespectful England fans
That's why the whole world was celebrating Italy's victory, except for Her Majesty The Queen and some of Her British subjects!
as we should
Italian's do this right. That's how a national anthem should be sung. I saw them and even though I'm Eastern European I got somehow water in the eyes because everyone understands the love for the country.
Punic Wars are studied in history, at elementary schools and more in depth at high school. Lyrics do make a lot of sense, if it's you who snobs Roman history it's your own problem
No seriamente, quelle santissime guerre le avrò studiate trecento volte
Fratelli d’Italia
L’Italia s’è desta,
Dell’elmo di Scipio
S’è cinta la testa
Publio Cornelio Scipione, known as "L'Africano", was the Roman general and politician who won the Carthaginians and Hannibal in 202 BC. C. a Zama (present day Algeria); the battle decreed the end of the second Punic war, with the crushing victory of the Romans. Italy, now ready for the war of independence from Austria, figuratively surrounds the head of the helmet of Scipio as a metaphorical reminder of the heroic and valiant deeds of the ancient Romans.
Dov’è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
Ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
It refers to the ancient custom of cutting the hair of female slaves to distinguish them from free women. The goddess Victoria should therefore offer her hair to be cut as a sign of submission to Rome.
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L’Italia chiamò.
The "coorte" was a combat unit of the Roman army, made up of 600 men.
"Stringiamoci a coorte" therefore wants to be an exhortation to go to arms without delay, to remain united and compact, willing to die, for the liberation from the foreign oppressor.
Noi siamo da secoli
Calpesti, derisi,
Perché non siam popolo,
Perché siam divisi.
Raccolgaci un’unica
Bandiera, una speme:
Di fonderci insieme
Già l’ora suonò.
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L’Italia chiamò.
It is a call to "speme" (hope) to gather under a single banner of unity and shared ideals for an Italy, that of 1848, still divided into seven states (Kingdom of the two Sicilies, Papal State, Kingdom of Sardinia, Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, Duchy of Parma, Duchy of Modena).
Uniamoci, amiamoci,
l’Unione, e l’amore
Rivelano ai Popoli
Le vie del Signore;
Giuriamo far libero
Il suolo natìo:
Uniti per Dio
Chi vincer ci può?
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L’Italia chiamò.
In this verse Mameli interprets the political plan of the founder of "Giovine Italia": that of achieving, through the union of all the Italian states, the realization of the republic. "Per Dio" is a Frenchism which means "through God", "by God", here understood as a supporter of oppressed peoples.
Dall’Alpi a Sicilia
Dovunque è Legnano
The battle of Legnano, in 1176, is the one in which the Lombard League, under the command of Alberto da Giussano, defeated Frederick I of Swabia, Barbarossa. Following the defeat, the emperor, who came to Italy to assert his authority, was forced to renounce his claims of supremacy; he therefore came to terms with the Lombard cities, with which he stipulated a truce of 6 years, which was followed in 1183 by the peace of Constance in which he had to recognize the autonomy of the city.
Ogn’uom di Ferruccio
Ha il core, ha la mano,
I bimbi d’Italia
Si chiaman Balilla
Another reference to foreign domination: the man mentioned is Francesco Ferrucci, who in 1530 defended Florence from the emperor Charles V.
The reference to all the people of Italy is the value and courage of the legendary Balilla, the symbol of the popular revolt in Genoa against the Austro-Piedmontese coalition: it is the nickname of the child, perhaps a certain Giambattista Perasso, who on December 5 1746 threw a stone at an officer, starting the revolt that led to the liberation of the city.
Il suon d’ogni squilla
I Vespri suonò.
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L’Italia chiamò.
"Il suon d'ogni squilla" means "the sound of every bell". The event referred to by Mameli is that of the "Sicilian Vespers": name given to the movement for which Sicily rose after 16 years of Angevin (French) dominion and gave itself to the Aragonese (Spanish). At Vespers on Easter Monday on March 31, 1282, all the bells rang out to urge the people of Palermo to insurrection against the French.
Son giunchi che piegano
Le spade vendute:
Già l’Aquila d’Austria
Le penne ha perdute.
Il sangue d’Italia,
Il sangue Polacco,
Bevé, col cosacco,
Ma il cor le bruciò.
Stringiamci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
L’Italia chiamò.
Austria of the Habsburgs (of which the double-headed eagle was the imperial symbol) was in decline (the swords sold are the mercenary troops of which the imperial army was full) and Mameli calls the people one last time to gather italics to give the coup de grace to the Austrian domination with a parallelism with Poland. Between 1772 and 1795, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, together with Russia (the "Cosacco") had invaded Poland. But the blood of the two oppressed peoples, the Italian and the Pole, can turn into poison through the uprising against the foreign oppressor.
In the original version of the hymn, the first verse of the first verse read "Evviva l'Italia", Mameli then changed it to "Fratelli d'Italia" almost certainly at the suggestion of Michele Novaro himself. The latter, when he received the manuscript, also added a boisterous "Si!" at the end of the chorus sung after the last verse.
There are two autographed manuscripts that have come down to the present day: the first, the original one linked to the first draft, is located at the Istituto Mazzini di Genova, while the second, the one sent by Mameli on 10 November 1847 to Novaro, is kept in the Museo del Risorgimento di Torino. The autographed manuscript that Novaro sent to the publisher Francesco Lucca is instead located in Milano, in the Archivio Storico Ricordi in Milano.
For decades there has been debate at government and parliamentary level on the need to make the Canto degli Italiani, the anthem of the Italian Republic, without however reaching the approval of a law or a constitutional amendment that sanctioned the state of affairs, also recognized in all institutional offices, until 4 December 2017.
On 30 December 2017, La Repubblica recognizes the text of Goffredo Mameli's «Canto degli italiani» and the original musical score of Michele Novaro as its national anthem.
Unfortunately, however, the implementing decree is still missing.
Incredibly, for 71 years, 'Fratelli d'Italia' has been provisional: since, on 12 October 1946, the Council of Ministers - then led by Alcide De Gasperi - "on the proposal of the Minister of War", established that as a national anthem for the ceremony of the oath of the Armed Forces of the following November 4: but, in fact, "provisionally". Three legislatures in these 71 years (the 14th, 15th and 16th) have tried to give the hymn the dignity of law, but all the projects presented have begun parliamentary examination, without however ever being approved.
Thanks
Thanks for the accuracy!

"...SI!“
wow, alcune cose nn le sapevo neanch'io! grande commento!
I think it is a combination of the pride of the Italian people and the rhythmic and musical structure of the anthem itself. I myself find this anthem one of the most uplifting in terms of rhythm. You don't even have to know the lyrics. This anthem takes the edge even from the famous Marseillaise. Saluti fratelli Italiani dalla Grecia.
More than pride... will be passionate as Italian and I think this known worldview wide Football is like a religion for us...One of the things that can group us together is the azzurra and the honor & passion they bring to the field and singing our anthem. We live for football die 4 football 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌
Una faccia, una razza my brother. Peace and long life!
Italiano Greco, una faccia una razza. Long life to our Greek brothers! Brothers in philosophy and science!
Exactly
Hi brother! Greece is the only country we really care about. I don't know if greeks care about italians, but for sure every italian wish the best to greeks
First of all, in italy we know the meaning of our anathem and that’s why we sing it with this passion, at the end the anathem say “we are ready to die italy has called” and we scream “YES” because we are ready to figth and die for our country and our people
Gianmarco Ripani - Purtroppo non lo credo molto. LA maggior parte degli italiani quando canta l'inno pensa che l'Italia sia nata da Iddio: sbagliato. E' la Vittoria che è stata creata da Dio come schiava di Roma. Concetto molto più profondo. L'talia come ho già detto all'inizio dei miei interventi viene detta invincibile perché Iddio ha creato come sua schiava la Vittoria che le deve porgere la chioma in segno di sottomissione. Riguardati i commenti all'inizio dei posts. Siamo poi realmente disposti a morire per la patria? L'unico inno, scritto pressappoco nello stesso periodo del nostro, che non fa appello alla morte è quello francese. Francamente preferirei sedermi intorno a un tavolo e trovare un accordo che vada bene a tutte le parti in gioco: questo è stato il discorso rivoluzionario e lungimirante dei capi di stato e governo quando hanno fondato le Comunità Economiche Europee. Fondare l'interesse comune per un futuro di pace dell'Europa. Era un discorso nuovo dopo venti secoli di guerre. Non trovi? Infatti abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vivere 75 anni in pace in un continente che in passato aveva esportato ben 3 guerre mondiali (non dimentichiamoci poi la guerra dei sette anni nel settecento), per non contare la guerra dei CENTO anni o quella dei TRENT'anni: uno nasceva in guerra e conduceva tutta la sua esistenza contorniato da, se non a fare la guerra: è una bella cosa questa? Riconosciamolo: siamo stati i guerrafondai del mondo. Se non siamo capaci di riconoscere questo abbiamo mancato di apprendere una lezione importante del ns passato che rifaremo in futuro. Pace, collaborazione, destino comune, stessa storia e valori condivisi questi sono stati i nuovi presupposti per un'Europa diversa, solidale e inclusiva, democratica - dopo cosi tante feroci dittature.
@@bachisio2140 a dire il vero i guerrafondai "del mondo" negli ultimissimi secoli son stati gli spagnoli, poi i francesi, poi gli inglesi e ora gli USA. hanno creato imperi fino a spartirsi il mondo (russia e austria almeno si accontentavano dei vicini di casa, gli altri andavano a invadere e sterminare popoli tecnologicamente arretrati in tutto il mondo. infami. tedeschi e giapponesi in un time lapse della storia manco ne scorgi l'impero che dura pochissimi anni...).
noi italiani dopo aver dominato il mediterraneo con roma ci siam tolti ogni sfizio e ora siam ben più pacifici di molti altri popoli. lo dicono molti esperti di geopolitica, criticandoci inoltre, non io, sia chiaro.
inoltre la guerra a cui chiama il ragazzino mameli è una guerra di liberazione dato che altre nazioni erano venute a conquistarci, in modo particolare l'austria, impero di mille popoli e mille lingue, sbriciolato dopo la prima guerra mondiale.
quindi NO, non siamo stati noi italiani i guerrafondai degli ultimi secoli. il primato spetta sicuramente agli inglesi. credo che qualcosa come "la guerra dell'oppio" abbia raggiunto livelli insuperabili di indecenza.
ora io vivo in messico, e ti assicuro che il 90% della popolazione ha tipici tratti fisiognomici degli antichi aztechi e maya. vai pure a guardare la percentuale di abitanti USA che lontanamente somiglia a un aborigeno americano. 0,1%... se siamo fortunati, ma credo molto meno. li hanno ammazzati tutti, altro che hitler, era un dilettante. tutti li hanno sterminati, e visto che non gli bastava hanno trascinato milioni di neri africani a lavorare gratis come schiavi per loro... schiavitù che era roba quasi scomparsa già nel medioevo e ce ne voleva per aver il coraggio di ritirarla fuori dopo secoli di "civiltà"...
poi si, "E' la Vittoria che è stata creata da Dio come schiava di Roma."; però no, l'inno francese è stracolmo di sangue, e molto di più del nostro!! inoltre anche di guerra civile fratricida.
vai a leggertelo, per favore:
"il giorno della gloria è arrivato!
Contro di noi si è alzata
La bandiera insanguinata della tirannia !
...
Ululare questi feroci soldati?
...
Per sgozzare i nostri figli e i nostri compagni !
Alle armi, cittadini !
Formate i vostri battaglioni !
...
Che un sangue impuro
Bagni i nostri solchi !
Cosa vuole quest'orda di schiavi,
di traditori, di re congiurati?
Per chi queste ignobili catene,
questi ferri a lungo preparati?
Questi ferri a lungo preparati?
Francesi, per noi, ah! Che oltraggio!
Che rabbia deve suscitare !
...
Che !?! Queste corti straniere
Detterebbero legge a casa nostra !
Queste falangi mercenarie
Abbatterebbero i nostri fieri guerrieri!
...
Si è tutti soldati per combattere contro di voi,
se muoiono, i nostri giovani eroi
la terra ne produrrà di nuovi,
contro di voi saremo tutti pronti a combattere!
...
sopravvivere meno gelosamente di loro
che di dividere la loro bara
noi avremo l'orgoglio sublime di vendicarli o seguirli!"
non c'è inno più sanguinario di quello francese... ed è parecchio risaputo.
nel nostro, almeno, a un certo punto si dice:
"Uniamoci, amiamoci,
l'unione e l'amore
rivelano ai popoli
le vie del Signore;"
come vedi nulla da intransigente nazionalismo da "razza superiore", in quanto espressamente dice "ai popoli"... mentre nell'inno francese... pfff.... "sangue impuro", "orda di schiavi", "oltraggio", "rabbia", "a casa nostra", "orgoglio sublime di vendicarli"... tipica grandeur francese, cosa che proprio non ci appartiene.
dai, su... per favore.
è da secoli che noi italiani siamo agnellini e per questo ne approfittano gli altri che agnellini non sono...
e anche la questione dei 75 anni di pace... ni... fino all'89 c'era il muro di berlino e l'europa era divisa in due in una reale guerra fredda, la prima che ha messo a repentaglio l'esistenza di tutta l'umanità per lo straordinario armamento nucleare che ne sarebbe bastato un quinto per cancellare la vita dal pianeta per come la conosciamo...
troppa retorica da prof del liceo... la storia è altra e continua con le sue infami contraddizioni come la scelta della francia, pochi anni fa, di attaccare la libia quando avevamo appena stretto con loro un trattato che ci imponeva di entrare in guerra contro chi la avesse attaccata... se ne sono fregati... e per pure questioni di petrolio e soldi i francesi (e gli amichetti USA) se ne sono fregati e ci hanno umiliato e gettato una nazione nel caos, la libia, senza alcun diritto.
per non parlare di ben altre cose, tipo come hanno umiliato la grecia, patria dell'occidente, per un debito che potevamo tranquillamente accollarci come facciamo da decenni in italia con la calabria o negli usa con la california... 434 miliardi di dollari... vai a guardarti quanto era quello della grecia.
gli hanno portato via porti, aeroporti, isole,... e la hanno persino obbligata a irrazionali umiliazioni come comprare sottomarini tedeschi per poter accedere al prestito da strozzini...
insomma, occhio ai lupi vestiti da pecora e non denigrare tanto la tua patria, che c'è molto, molto, di peggio, né illuditi che se i padroni fossero i cinesi o altri le cose andrebbero meglio... pure i loro concittadini trattano come cani schiavi, figuriamoci gli stranieri...
@@danilo4631 Ringrazio della tua lunga risposta.
Che l'Italia si sia accontentata delle briciole nella spartizione delle colonie è risaputo da tutti e che si sia 'solo' al nono posto per esportazioni di armi al mondo dopo Stati Uniti, Russia e altri paesi Europei e Israele non fa del nostro paese propriamente un 'agnellino' di cui gli altri si approfittano. Non è stata e non è mia intenzione denigrare il ns paese, come dici tu, me ne guarderei bene. Tuttavia chi si approfitta di noi magari ci punta contro proprio le armi che gli abbiamo fornito...
E quindi non capisco quale retorica vorresti sostituire a quella del prof. del liceo. Scusa sono un po' tardo.
@@bachisio2140 ma no, chi davvero si approfitta di noi non ha bisogno delle nostre armi. si fabbrica le sue.
abbiamo perso la seconda guerra mondiale e come giappone e germania abbiamo sul nostro suolo un numero di basi USA di gran lunga superiore a quello di qualsiasi altra nazione NATO.
le armi le vendono tutti, ma proprio tutti quelli che le sanno produrre. noi siamo una nazione manifatturiera e sappiamo fare bene auto e cose simili meccaniche.
eredità della seconda guerra mondiale.
non per altro germania, italia, giappone, USA... brillano come produttrici di veicoli e altre cose meccaniche.
chi non le sa produrre si limita a comprarle
il problema è poi chi le usa e come.
non le comprassero da noi potrebbero sempre comprarle da altri. tranquillo che non si metterebbero a piangere.
spesso, inoltre, sono aziende private che producono e vendono armi.
io parlo di Italia stato.
non so quale retorica tu abbia scorto nel mio testo. tutte le informazioni che ho messo, se non ricordo male, sono di dominio pubblico, a partire dalla marsigliese.
la definizione di Italia come agnellino che arriva davvero a credere che le missioni di pace, siano di pace,... non è mia ma degli esperti di geopolitica.

o se preferisci puoi comprare la rivista nelle edicole.
giusto per fare un esempio ultimamente stanno discutendo molto di come altre nazioni, turchia, algeria, tunisia... si stiano intestando parti del mediterraneo fino a pochi km dalle nostre coste e ci sono stati persino casi di pescatori italiani che son stati sequestrati dalle forze navali di altri paesi perché accusati di essere entrati in acque che loro hanno unilateralmente definito loro... se vai a veder le mappe ti renderai subito conto che persino stati parecchio deboli come l'algeria non si preoccupano di sfidare l'Italia. famoso anche il caso dei marò finiti in galera in india mentre facevano servizio di difesa di navi contro i pirati.
cose che non succederebbero a soldati francesi, usa, russi,...
ma nulla, son tutte cose che troverai ben spiegate dagli esperti di limes.
inutile che mi dilunghi io a spiegar male ciò che loro spiegano molto meglio.

per esempio a me fa sempre ridere quando ascolto politici che gridano a "emergenza sicurezza" in Italia.
in Italia ci sono in media solo 400 omicidi all'anno, quasi totalmente relazionati a dinamiche famigliari.
in Messico, per esempio, 40.000 omicidi ogni anno, più di 100 al giorno, e, seppur le statistiche su questo punto siano incerte, per volare basso almeno 5000 desaparecidos... ma non mi stupirei fossero persino il doppio.
fenomeno davvero inquietante che si tocca con mano dato che i pali della luce sono coperti da volantini con facce di persone scomparse che la famiglia cerca.
ormai ho smesso di leggere il giornale perché è davvero agghiacciante.
in Italia quando scompare e muore una Yara te ne parlano per dieci anni in tv... in messico se va bene compare in un trafiletto a pag 16 del giornale una volta e poi non se ne parla più.
ci si resta male quando arrivi al lavoro e il collega ti racconta ridendo della sparatoria nel parcheggio del supermercato con tanto di cadavere a cui ha fatto la foto... sinceramente non mi ci sono ancora abituato.
chiunque ha un po' viaggiato fuori europa sa di cosa parlo (viaggiato neh, non andato due settimane al villaggio valtour, ma vissuto, lavorato, alloggiato nei quartieri "popolari"...)
in Italia mai avuto paura, manco sbronzissimo alle 4 di mattina quando ti incroci per torino 8 extracomunitari che, "giustamente", provano ad approfittarsi della tua poca lucidità e rubarti il portafoglio... il giorno dopo li rincontri e ti salutano persino con rispetto (cosa successa...)
qui in messico possono estrarre una pistola e spararti in faccia perché per lo shock hai atteso 1 secondo di più a tirar fuori il portafoglio o dare il cellulare... qui mi cago sotto e in certe zone non ci passo e ho imparato a dare retta alla mia ragazza che già dopo le 11 è meglio non uscire a comprare a piedi le sigarette.
poi oh, se vai nel caribe e nelle zone dei turisti, tranquillo che non ti succede nulla.
e pensa che nella mia città da giovane ero persino uno di quelli che facevano paura... tempi dei centri sociali occupati, microcriminalità, ecc... qui sembro un cucciolotto, un mio minipony...
il mondo fa abbastanza schifo e l'Italia è una oasi, un parco giochi per bambini.
si, per fortuna siamo agnellini.
@@danilo4631 Se lo dici tu...
2 fun fact: The anthem that they put before the matches is a "short" version, because the anthem continues for other verses, and one of these verses is "già il sangue d'Italia e il sangue polacco bevè col cosacco ma il cor le bruciò" Which is a reference to the Austrians and Russians (Cosacchi) That they oppressed Italians and Poles, but that sooner or later these peoples would rebel against Austrian/Russian domination and "burned their hearts"(of the austrian and Russians) . The funny thing is that in the Polish national anthem there is a reference to Italy: Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski, z ziemi włoskiej do Polski (March, Dąbrowski, from Italian land to Poland)A reference to General Dąbrowski's soldiers who asked their to bring them back to Poland since at that time they were in Italy in the city of Reggio Emilia To fight alongside Napoleon who had promised to the Poles to remake Poland a independently nation after the partition of 1795. That makes Italy and Poland the only two nations to refer to each other In their national anthems

@@tescOne Probabilmente, stai confondendo l'importanza del compositore e magari la bellezza della composizione con quello che poi deve essere il risultato, ovvero un motivo facile che possa essere cantato a voce piena con un testo evocativo che rispecchi le origini di quel paese. L' equazione grande compositore = grande inno non è detto che funzioni sempre, anzi.. anche perchè oltre alla composizione c'è pure il testo, è un mix di cose secondo me... Ricordo una lezione di storia della musica con il mio maestro che se la ridacchiava perchè la Marsigliese sarebbe frutto di un compositore Italiano, non chiedermi il nome che non lo ricordo ma se cerchi su google scommetto che trovi tutto.. i Francesi non lo ammetteranno mai ma effettivamente è stato composto da uno sconosciutissimo compositore Italiano.. Questo per dirti che musicalmente non è una sinfonia quella richiesta ma qualcosa di profondamente orecchiabile e che sia cantabile... Troppo facile per un grande compositore!
Italian here. I can't really tell why we love it so much. But we do. Since elementary school we all become obsessed with it i guess. Especially because at the very end you must scream "yes" and it's so liberating. I joined all matches well in advance this year in order to sing the anthem with the team, I can't miss the moment, and every time, every time, I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. It's so beautiful, it makes you feel like you are part of something you should be proud for.
Io invece in questi euroei mi sono perso la prima partita e l'inno della seconda partita, quindi siccome hanno vinto 3-0 ho deciso di non ascoltarlo neanche nelle successive.
Così, per scaramanzia. Un po' di sofferenza... non è vero e non ci credo, ma male non ha portato :)
I'm a Muslim Malaysians and I say keep that alive for eternal times. Today, especially in Europe there are so many things, factors, movements trying to make Europeans be less proud of their origins and their achievements. Just look at countries like France, UK, Germany. If only they're as proud Europeans as the Italians.
@@aizac91Italian here, you are totally right, the english anthem talks about the Queen and most of the german anthem was censored since It talked about germany ruling the world, on the other hand, the Italian anthem talks about our unity and us fighting for liberation from oppression and foreign control, in the First part It talks about the Battle of the punic Wars of "Scipio" against Hannibal, and the coheants(Sorry for english)that are ready to die for their country, in the second part It talks about the people's being scared and so It Is sang more quietly, in the third part people's get courage and fight for their country, an example could be the boys from 1899 that fought against Austria hungary for their country, also, the flag has different meanings, i only Remember the Red part meaning, It representd the Italians and poles that fought with us for liberation, also to know how much pride we got you should Also listrn to "Il Piave mormorò - 24 maggio" It Is a Song against Austria hungary, see ya!
It's their passion, their unique kindness, their theory of life, their love for living. This is the answer. Hugs from Romania. 🇷🇴
Why Italian players belt the National Anthem as everyone else should, but other nations' players do not?
This is the real question
because we are italian 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
@@promolaregiannitir Italians do it better 🇮🇹🇮🇹
Because anthems have different meaning to different peoples. For example, here nobody gives a shit about the swiss anthem because it's nothing but an old prayer that tells nothing about the country or its people. So players don't sing it because nobody really cares and very few people actually know the whole lyrics. Doesn't help that it exists in four languages and it's a mess if everyone tries to sing it in their own language, be it german, french, italian or rumantsch
Italians love theirs and i am happy for them, but anthems are just not that big of a deal to everyone
@Mary Cì I agree 100% !
@@navaryn2938 es wäre denn Zeit dass die Schweiz es endlich ändert! Ein Lied über eurer sehr alten und bekannten demokratischen Geschichte wäre vielleicht noch besser, auch mit Texten aus jeder der vier Sprachen
Since Italy has an history in Opera, the lyrics need to be sing in different tones. The first verse is loud and is intended as a call at arms. The second verse is much quieter and represents the people, scared and incredulous. The last one are the people getting courage and say: let’s come together and fight and die for our country. It was written not as a song but more like a theatrical scene. That was Mameli’s intent
yes, it's true, but there are other verses regarding episodes of our national history no more sang.....
Yeah, as an Italian, I'm very happy there's someone really understanding the real conception of our anthem (as an opera piece)
Only a mistake: it was NOVARO's intent: Mameli only wrote the lyrics
“Let us unite” in the anthem is “stringiamoci a coorte” that means litterally “let’s join toghetger in cohort”. It is another reference to Rome.

SO, here's a part of the story about players singing our anthem:
Italian players have never been used to sing it for decades. In fact, they didn't sing it at all. This generated some controversies from time to time but it wasn't such a big deal. We (as Italian supporters) envied a little bit other nations with more passionate players but that was it. The change of pace happened right before the 2006 World Cup. The big scandal concerning italian football (and some minor scandals before) mined the National Team credibility in the eyes of italian people, but the guys in the squad really wanted to demonstrate with fact that they were, in fact, representing our Country when playing. That they were united as one and ready to fight for the credibility of our football. And what better way than to sing our anthem out loud?
It was a pretty fortunate event considering that it happened right before winning it all in 2006, and I guess that helped to cement that new habbit. After 15 years it's still there, luckily
@salvo problemi oh, what a patriot was President Ciampi. The Italian currency and the Italian industrial environment still remember him.
Obscure episodes of Italian history?!?
I thought that Scipio's victory during the 2nd Punic war was something every Western student studies. In other countries nobody studies Roman history?
i'm from Morocco and we took history class about the punic wars in elementary school, albeit in brief while studying the history of Morocco and North africa.
I'm Italian, and the reason is because we Italians live football in a passionate way, and between us there is a lot of rivalry between teams, but the national team is the only thing that unites the Italian passion for football, besides our anthem. it contains our entire history and represents the union of a people.

I'm sorry but the translation of the hymn is not correct. Victory is a slave of Rome not Italy: meaning that Italy has been created by God to be victorious because victory is a slave of Rome: Roma caput mundi in Latin, which means Rome capital of the world because it's one of the most ancient cities, the cradle of western culture and civilization together with Greece.
The video never says that the text tells "italy is a slave of rome"
@@SimBar95x Thank you for your answer. At 1.46 you can read the translation of the lyrics: in the second line HER is clearly referred to ITALY; but in the third and fourth line who are the two HER referred to? ITALY again or VICTORY? This time they refer to VICTORY, otherwise the meaning changes into 'Italy is a slave of Rome' and surely nobody in this country wants to be a slave of no one in the world. HER in the third and fourth lines refers to VICTORY: in this way ITALY is bound to be vicroious because VICTORY is a slave of Rome. Got it?

Molti inni nazionali sono marce reali che non coinvolgono direttamente i popoli dei rispettivi paesi. Il nostro inno invece lo fa: è stato composto durante il Risorgimento PER il Risorgimento, e non piaceva alla monarchia e al fascismo (infatti anche qua si usava la marcia reale come inno). Secondo me, la fine della monarchia e del fascismo ha dato una grossa spinta alla nostra passione per il nostro inno.

It has many references to italic history and not the Italian one. This because when it was written Italy was not a real nation, it was divided into many dominations and governed by foreigns countries by centuries like Austria and Spain. But this feelings of freedom and indipendente was really strong in 19th century and it was a sort of recall of the myth of old Roman empire of firsts century after Christ.

2:18 “Some of the lyrics relate to some fairly obscure episodes of Italian history and don’t have much meaning in the modern world”. For Italians those episodes are not obscure and meaningless, we all study Roman history and we know it’s referring to the battle against Carthaginian general Hannibal where Rome won. We know we have thousands of years of great history and that unites and motivates us. Maybe it’s hard to comprehend for someone living in a country where people at that time used to go naked in the woods hunting for marmots.

I absolutely love the Italian national anthem and the Italian people
Italians are the most proud country I know, Poland where I come from is just after them. And our anthems have something in common. We both sing about our countries.
It' s not a casuality that actually Poland is cited in the final verses of our italian anthem as a proud example of resistance against common foreign invaders (Austria) : " Già l'Aquila d'Austria
Le penne ha perdute.
Il sangue d'Italia (Italian blood)
E il sangue Polacco (Polish blood)
Bevé col Cosacco,
Ma il cor le bruciò."
There are only 2 Anthems that give me goosebumps everytime I sing them: Irish (Amhrán na bhFiann) and the Italian (Inno di Mameli). And I sang this with gusto on Sunday. I'd say I love both as they were written during times of struggle and the lyrics have such meaning and once you understand what you are singing, it does bring emotion. I doubt they will ever change it. It means so much to the people and even if you don't understand it, you can see the passion and pride. Forza Italia 🇮🇹 e Irlanda 🇮🇪

@@nfstvrn in wc2006 it was a scandal also because Camoranesi (argentinian) didnt sing the anthem.
Eh giá. That was said at any major turnament until just 10years ago.
Change is a part of the growth
Yes, as a matter of fact the younger generations of athletes have started singing the national anthem, it has not always been like that.
I think we scream our anthem because the rhythm is increasing, but I personally do it also because the anthem is about the Italian wars of independence and the full version contains several references to battles for independence such as the Genoa revolt or the battle of Legnano and the same author of the hymn (Mameli) died at the age of 22 fighting for national unity; but also because Italy has been disunited and occupied by foreign powers for 13 centuries since it was the main Roman province (the only province in which the inhabitants had citizenship for most of Roman history). So to me this hymn is like the scream of someone who has been oppressed for so long and is now free, and I think I'm not the only one who sees it that way.
I am Italian and i can't write it better then you are. 😘❤🇮🇹 Italy has called you, are you ready? Yessssssssssssss💪
All correct, but Italy was not a province. Italy was the metropole of Rome: it was a state, basically. Indeed a famous Roman saying " Italia non erat provincia, sed domina provinciarum". "Domina provinciarum" means Ruler of the provinces. Another epithet was "Rectrix mundi" (the one who sustains the world).
It makes sense to Italians because we actually study history.
The answer is easy, we are proud of being italian, that's it 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Scotland aswell
I’m English and you get shamed for being proud of your country, it’s so so sad
The answer is in the third strophe of the hymn, which translates to "by centuries we were stepped on 'n' derided / because we're not a people, because we're divided / May hope (of unity) and a single banner gather us; the hour of fusing togheter has rung!

So sad that southern Italians sing it. A little more than 100 years after their great grandparents were massacred or forced to immigrate to the Americas from the Two Sicilies. Sad to see Gattuso, Donnarumma, Insigne, Scilaci sing this. Like Holland singing Deutschland Uber Alles.....
@@zorradone that's a false historian... south Italy fought and wanted Italy like (if not more) than North... A lot of sicilians and neapolitans fought next to Mameli and Garibaldi and the immigration After the unification was a National phenomenon.

The answer is because our national Anthem ends with this sentence: "we are ready to the Death, Italy called"
if they were ready to die, they should have not changed the flag when Hitler came nor when Americans came over...
Also when they are singing a national anthem, they just want to look like the All Blacks player. I am just wondering if they could still win playing outside Olimpico.

Two things: in the late 90s early 2000s the media used to criticise our players because they didn’t sing the anthem. The boys either didn’t know the words or didn’t bother to sing loudly. After years of accusations of not being patriotic enough, they slowly started singing more and more loudly as well as putting their arms around each other’s shoulders.
The other thing is that a big part of the passion you feel and is captured by photos is the “SÌ” at the end, which make our players scream. Well, that “sì” (yes) isn’t officially part of the lyrics😅
Was it case for all of you Italians? Your Tifosi's singing at Italian Grand Prix are probably the most popular and loved crowd among all disciplines :D
@@ricer34567 I'd probably say Yes. Only after Ciampi's presidence (1999-2005) the italian anthem was brought to the top, before of that period it was just the "song" played before ceremonies and not something related to the passion or the pride to be italian. In those years the "canto degli italiani" was taught and studied at schools and then sung proudly and loudly in stadiums and even circuits (one of my best infance memories is Schumacher directing a fake orchestra during the execution of our anthem)
Certo che il “si” fa parte del testo.. rimba! Informati

*Alternative explanation* : Italians player are actually born and raised in Italy (unlike France or the rest of western european nations teams)😂Their anthem actually means something for them.
The references are not obscure at all if you know just a little bit of Italian history ;).
As Jorginho stated, the Anthem make us remember al the battles we fought in life and that lead us to this moment. I didn't realize it at first, but I'm sure every Italian deeply feel the same, every time.

The words actually are very relevant when singing it. Im italian
Furthermore, "Il canto degli Italiani" (the title of the song) is most usually referred to as "L'inno di Mameli", "The hymn of Mameli", Mameli being a 21 years old patriot who wrote the lyrics for which the older Michele Novaro later composed the music (with the clear intent of writing a melody as popular and easy to sing as possible. Very soon the hymn gained popularity across Italy, to the point of it being outlawed by some of the pre-unitarian states.
italian here. the best part is at the end. Italy has called and we shout "YES" as an answer. It's like we are confirming, everytime the anthem is sung, that we are there and present, supporting or fighting for the nation and italians likewise. and that's what give everyone the chills even if they're not italian speaking: that exact feeling we are singing

How to interpret the "obscure" words of the Italian anthem for dummies:
-The helmet of Scipio indicates Scipio the African, Undefeated Roman general in the campaign against Carthage, after Hannibal attempted the invasion of Rome.
-"hand her hair" (le porga la chioma) indicates the act of submission of the slaves and the consequent shaving of their hair in ancient Rome.
-
"Vittoria" (Victory) is not a noun, but a material divine personification of a woman, like all Roman deities.
-The "Italia", as for the victory, is a physical figure who, wearing the helmet of Scipio, summons the Italians to fight, to the death, as the Roman general did.
The whole anthem is an exchange between Vittoria (who is a physical figure similar to a military commander) and her troops (the Italians), she who convinces them that she will intercede to give them victory and the people who respond that it will follow it until death, as in the examples of the past.
Bravissimo!
