The Canto degli Italiani, also known as Fratelli d'Italia, Inno di Mameli, Canto nazionale or Inno d'Italia, is a Risorgimento song written by Goffredo Mameli and set to music by Michele Novaro in 1847, the national anthem of the Italian Republic. The song, a 4/4 in B-flat major, consists of six stanzas and a chorus that is sung at the end of each stanza. The sixth group of verses, which is almost never performed, recalls the text of the first stanza. The song was very popular during the Risorgimento and in the following decades, although after the unification of Italy (1861) the Royal March, which was the official song of the House of Savoy, was chosen as the anthem of the Kingdom of Italy. The Canto degli Italiani was in fact considered too little conservative compared to the political situation of the time: Fratelli d'Italia, with a clear republican and Jacobin connotation, was difficult to reconcile with the outcome of the Risorgimento, which was monarchical. After the Second World War, Italy became a republic and the Canto degli Italiani was chosen, on 12 October 1946, as the provisional national anthem, a role that it has retained even afterwards, remaining the de facto anthem of the Italian Republic. Over the decades, there have been various parliamentary initiatives to make it the official national anthem, up to Law No. 181 of 4 December 2017, which gave the Canto degli Italiani the status of national anthem de jure.

A jazz-trained pianist, he is considered one of the most important and innovative Italian singer-songwriters. A lawyer by profession, in his more than fifty-year career he has been the author of music for other artists, often collaborating with lyricists such as Vito Pallavicini, and then decided, in 1974, to abandon his legal career to devote himself exclusively to the artistic one. Esteemed and appreciated by the French public and by various international audiences, he has also ventured into other fields of expression, receiving in 2007 an honorary degree in Painting, for the multimedia work Razmataz, conferred on him by the Academy of Fine Arts of Catanzaro. Read the entry · All Quality Voices Did you know that... The RMS Republic (formerly SS Columbus) was a British ocean liner operating for the White Star Line between 1903 and 1909. Recognized as one of the largest and most opulent ships of the Edwardian age, it was nicknamed "the millionaires' ship." She was wrecked on January 24, 1909, following a collision with the ship Florida, off the island of Nantucket, on which occasion she managed to stay afloat long enough to allow the evacuation of most of the passengers; its sinking has gone down in history for being the first where the CQD emergency signal (predecessor of the SOS) was used. The Republic is therefore the first ship in history to have called for help by radio. Paradoxically, the relative success of the Republic's evacuation doomed one of its immediate successors, the Titanic, creating a false sense of security and a general relaxation of the common sense of danger and maritime accident prevention measures.
