The "Marcia Reale d'Ordinanza" (Italian pronunciation:[ˈmartʃareˈaːledordiˈnantsa]; "Royal March of Ordinance"), or "Fanfara Reale" (Italian:[faɱˈfaːrareˈaːle]; "Royal Fanfare"), was the officialnational anthem of theKingdom of Italy between 1861 and 1946.[1] It was composed in 1831 by Giuseppe Gabetti to the order ofCharles Albert of Sardinia as the hymn of the royalHouse of Savoy, along with theSardinian national anthem. It remained a famous, recognizable and cherished symbol of Italy throughout the history of the monarchy.
In September 1943, the future king of ItalyUmberto II chose the patriotic song "La Leggenda del Piave" as the new national anthem, replacing the "Marcia Reale". It remained the official anthem of Italy until June 1944; whenRome 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 ofCrown Prince Umberto of Savoy asLieutenant General of the Realm and after his ascension to Kingship. After the1946 Italian institutional referendum, the newly establishedItalian Republic selected "Il Canto degli Italiani" in its stead as national anthem.
