La Marseillaise
Mameli, who was Republican, Jacobin and supporter of the motto born from the French Revolution "liberté, égalité, fraternité", to write the text of "Il Canto degli Italiani" was inspired by the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise". For example, "Stringiamci a coorte" recalls the verse of the "La Marseillaise", "Formez vos bataillon" ("Form your battalions").
