  • Why Italian Football Players Belt their National Anthem?
    .
    Ever been to an Italian soccer match or a local feasta and wished you could join in with the national anthem? Or perhaps you've listened to it and wondered what it's all about. The reason is quite interesting. It has nothing to do with the players but it's only with the National Anthem.

      Above all, Scipio is the general who freed Italy from the Carthaginian invasion. The quote from Scipio is not accidental. Even in that historical period, a foreign army had 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 the 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.

    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

    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.

      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?

      Che rabbia deve suscitare !

      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...

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.

      @@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!

    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

      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

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.

    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

      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.

Before making a historical video you spend hours doing research and studying, you didn't do it because otherwise you would know the meaning and that Italy was divided. The fact that it was called means that it was time to found the country, united as it was in the days of Rome.

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.

    It has many references to italic history and not the Italian one.

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.

    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).

    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😅

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)
