Ciao a tutti!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I had written last year about my experience at an Italian soccer game<\/a>, Parma vs Udinese to be exact. It was exciting, but it certainly pales in comparison to the current atmosphere in Italy given that gli azzurri<\/em> (the blues1<\/a><\/sup>nickname for Italy’s national soccer team<\/span>) have now made it to the final game of the UEFA European Championship, after having beat Spain 4-2 during the semi-final.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, July 11 at 3 pm EST Italy will face England for the Henri Delaunay Trophy.<\/p>\n

l’Italia, alla ricerca del secondo trionfo agli Europei dopo quello di 53 anni fa, e l’Inghilterra, che non ha mai vinto il titolo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Italy, in search of the second triumph at the European Championships after that of 53 years ago, and England, which has never won the title.<\/p>\n

If you plan on watching on Sunday, you will hear the national anthem below:<\/p>\n

Fratelli d’Italia,<\/em>
\nL’Italia s’\u00e8 desta,<\/em>
\nDell’elmo di Scipio<\/em>
\nS’\u00e8 cinta la testa.<\/em>
\nDov’\u00e8 la Vittoria?<\/em>
\nLe porga la chioma,<\/em>
\nCh\u00e9 schiava di Roma<\/em>
\nIddio la cre\u00f2.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Brothers of\u00a0Italy,<\/sup>
\nItaly has woken,<\/sup>
\nBound Scipio’s helmet<\/sup>
\nUpon her head.<\/sup>
\nWhere is\u00a0Victory?<\/sup>
\nLet her bow down,<\/sup>
\nBecause as a slave of Rome<\/sup>
\nGod created her.\u00a0<\/sup><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Stringiamci a coorte,<\/em>
\nSiam pronti alla morte.<\/em>
\nSiam pronti alla morte,<\/em>
\nL’Italia chiam\u00f2.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let us join in a\u00a0cohort,<\/i><\/sup>
\nWe are ready to die.<\/i><\/sup>
\nWe are ready to die,<\/i>
\nItaly has called!<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
