The Garibaldi Hymn

English-language translations of
Inno di Garibaldi (Garibaldi's Hymn)
by Luigi Mercantini

This Italian patriotic song was commissioned by Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi as the official battle song of the Hunters of the Alps volunteer corps. It was written in 1858 and set to music by Alessio Olivieri. It became very popular and was often used as an alternative to the national anthem after the unification of Italy.

English-language translations of Inno di Garibaldi include:

"The Garibaldi Hymn", loosely translated by Florence Attenborough (1907).
"Italian National Hymn", anonymous translation (1916).

This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
