Fratelli d'Italia

Since 1946 the Italian national anthem has been the Inno di Mameli, named after the writer of the lyrics, the poet and patriot Goffredo Mameli, who died at the age of 22 in 1849 while fighting with Garibaldi to defend the Roman republic. It is more commonly known as Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy) from its first lines: Fratelli d'Italia, / l'Italia s'è desta / dell'elmo di Scipio / s'è cinta la testa (Brothers of Italy, / Italy has arisen / with Scipio's helmet / binding her head). All Italians know the tune (written by choirmaster Michele Novaro, a friend of Mameli's), but very few know all the words by heart (5 verses in all).
