"Fratelli d'Italia", "Il Canto degli Italiani", or even "Inno di Mameli" are the different names that can be given to the title of the Italian national anthem.
It was written in Genoa and composed in Turin in 1847, respectively by Goffredo Mameli and Michele Novaro, just before the Italian wars of independence.
Although appreciated by the Italian people, this anthem will not be retained as the national anthem of the Kingdom of Italy, which will prefer the "Marcia Reale".
It was not until the proclamation of the republic in 1946 that it became de facto the Italian national anthem, even if it was not until 2017 that it was formalized as such.
