Viva Italia

I was watching the medal ceremony tonight for the Speed Skating medals. Now, you might expect I'd comment on the whole Davis/Hedrick quarrel. I'm not going to. Instead, I just wanted to point out that the Italian National Anthem is very upbeat and pretty fun - they even get to shout at the end. Anybody else notice it?

After a simple google search, I discovered that there are some people with some pretty strong opinions about national anthems.
