In just over six months, my hometown will be hosting the national soccer teams of Italy and Spain as part of the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. I'm always very excited when those two national teams play each other, not only because they're both chock-full of players who are legends of the trade, but also because those countries' national anthems are my favorite ones of them all (of those two I like the Italian one better). Both songs are energetic and melancholy at the same time. I'm looking forward to hearing them in close succession on June 10, 2012. Below the fold, you can take a quick listen yourself.
