![Italy's Mascots Shocked By National Anthem](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/anthemweb.jpg)
It’s become a bit of a tradition – if not a meme – that Italy’s players really – and we really do mean really – go for it when singing their country’s national anthem.
And as often happens, the little mascots accompanying them ahead of the match are taken aback by the sheer force the Italians channel their singing prowess.

Italy’s national anthem, “Il Canto degli Italiani” (“The Song of Italians”), was composed in 1847 with lyrics by Goffredo Mameli and music by Michele Novaro.
Commonly known as “Inno di Mameli” (“Mameli’s Hymn”) or “Fratelli d’Italia” (“Brothers of Italy”) after its opening line, this patriotic song is well-known among football fans and has accompanied many of the Azzurri’s historic victories.
