When Italians sing with a round ball

During the first wave of the Covid-19 outbreak, Italy was the hardest hit, and while the whole world was worried, we were unexpectedly greeted by the familiar sounds of music and singing emanating from the balconies of high-rise buildings under strict lockdown, sending powerful messages to the community.

Italians still enthusiastically embrace the spirit of "Italian Summer" in the stands whenever the Azzurri play and win.

Even more impactful and captivating was the performance by the renowned tenor A. Bocelli at the Duomo cathedral in Milan, streamed live online on April 12, 2020, attracting over 3 million live viewers and reaching 23 million views within 12 hours on YouTube. It truly was "Music of Hope," as the program's name suggests, and certainly, in the face of life's difficulties, music remains an effective weapon to awaken love, solidarity, and upward momentum in people.

In life, both in normal times and in extraordinary circumstances, Italians always raise their voices in songs of unity and hope. At the 1990 World Cup, a sporting event that captivated fans worldwide, Italians knew how to sing "Un'estate Italiana" (Italian Summer). The enchanting melody of this song is still sung in many places around the world and is considered one of the best songs of World Cup history. To this day, Italians still enthusiastically sing the spirit of "Italian Summer" in the stands whenever the Azzurri play and win.

But most notably, Italians always take singing the national anthem, "The Italian Song - Il Canto degli Italiani," with the utmost seriousness and sincerity before every match.

Everyone knows that Italians always have some of the most beautiful uniforms in the world, and the national team players are angelic beauties with ideal physiques, naturally curly hair, proud mustaches, and eyes the color of the Mediterranean Sea… always placing their hands on their chests and singing this spirited song whenever they go into battle. And it's not just the starting players or coaching staff; even the substitutes and the fans in the stands share the same heartbeat, the same voice, urging them on for the common goal of fighting and winning.

If you look closely, in all the matches at the EURO 2020 finals, the Italian coaching staff, led by Mancini and his Samdoria team, always wore grey suits, lined up neatly, and sang their sacred national anthem in unison, joining the rare chorus of Italians in major European stadiums that were being broadcast live worldwide.

From their very first group stage match at EURO 2020 against Türkiye, to their knockout victory against world number one Belgium, and their hard-fought semi-final win against former world champions Spain, the Italians have consistently demonstrated one thing vividly: unity, tenacious fighting spirit to achieve victory, starting with singing from their hearts, with the unwavering fighting spirit passed down through generations.

Italians are born to sing! And they sing beautifully in every breath of life, in every trajectory of the round ball. And much more...

In Vietnam, many people are captivated by Italian songs, the voices of famous Italian singers, and the Italian national team players. This time, they are even more impressed by how the Italians overcame difficulties to achieve victory, starting with their singing!
