Italy Removes 'Yes!' from National Anthem

Italy has made a small change to its national anthem.

The word 'Yes!'

at the end has been removed.

The anthem is called 'Brothers of Italy' and was written in 1847 by a poet named Goffredo Mameli.

The music was composed by Michele Novaro in the same year.

The change was made to make the anthem match its original version.

The government said it was not a political decision but to keep the anthem pure.

The news was first reported by a newspaper called Il Fatto Quotidiano and then confirmed by government sources.

The original lyrics and music can be found on the government's website.
