Inno Nazionale della Repubblica

English: National Anthem of the Republic
National anthem of San Marino
Lyrics	Federico Consolo
Music	Federico Consolo
Adopted	1894

The Inno Nazionale is the national anthem of the Republic of San Marino. It was written by Federico Consolo, a Sammarinese violinist and composer, and adopted as the national anthem in 1894. This national anthem is one of the few without lyrics, and is therefore called simply Inno Nazionale (Italian: National anthem). Although it is little known and scarcely heard within the wider European Community, the Inno Nazionale is regularly played in the streets of San Marino City by the musicians of the Military Ensemble during national and religious festivals.
