La Leggenda del Piave (with lyrics)

Thought I'd make a second video today. Enjoy!
"La Leggenda del Piave" (English: The Legend of Piave), also known as "La Canzone del Piave" (English: The Song of Piave), is an Italian patriotic song written by E. A. Mario after the Battle of the Piave River in June 1918. In September 1943 the future king of Italy Umberto II chose it as the new national anthem replacing the "Marcia Reale". It remained the official anthem of Italy until June 1944, when Rome was liberated and the government and the King returned to the capital, the "Marcia Reale" was in fact reintroduced as a national anthem and remained both after the appointment of Crown Prince Umberto of Savoy as Lieutenant General of the Realm and after his elevation to King. After the 1946 Italian institutional referendum, the newly established Italian Republic selected "Il Canto degli Italiani" in its stead. Today, the song is popular in Italy and played by a military band on National Unity and Armed Forces Day (November 4).

The "fixed" version of Marche Henri IV is probably next, but I might do the republican version of Le Chant de Fidelité.
