ITALY are in the Euro 2020 final against England at Wembley.
And though the Italians will be outnumbered in the stands, the players will make sure their national anthem is sung as loudly and proudly as any in the world.
Gareth Southgate has begged England fans not to boo the Italian national anthem ahead of the final and fire up the passionate Azzurri.
What is Italy’s national anthem called?
The Italian national anthem is officially called Il Canto degli Italiani (The Song of the Italians).
However, to most Italians it is better known as Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy) after the first line of the song.
What are the words to Italy’s national anthem?
Fratelli d’Italia,
l’Italia s’è desta,
dell’elmo di Scipio
s’è cinta la testa.
Dov’è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l’Italia chiamò.
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l’Italia chiamò! Sì!
What are the English words to Italy’s national anthem?
Brothers of Italy,
Italy has woken,
bound Scipio’s helmet
Upon her head.
Where is Victory?
Let her bow down,
Because [as a] slave of Rome
God created her.
Let us join in a cohort,
we are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called.
Let us join in a cohort,
We are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called! Yes!
