The recordings
Inno dei carristi2:51
Recording details
The military-hymn title does not identify a particular composition, tank unit, author or performer.
Sources & Resources
Marcia della marina italiana2:57
Historical Context
A later official register lists Ritirata as a march of the Italian navy. It offers a possible expanded-title comparison for this broadly named selection.
Recording details
The register describes a separate later release. Neither Ritirata nor its composer, ensemble or recording date is authenticated for this file.
Marcia brigata San Marco2:38
Historical Context
The Italian navy dates the San Marco name to a decree of 17 March 1919, after the Reggimento Marina’s First World War service on the lower Piave. The institutional name predates Fascist rule.
Recording details
The institution’s history does not date this march or establish its composer, arrangement or performing band. The supplied brigata wording is unchanged.
Patria3:24
Recording details
Patria is too broad a title to establish a particular work or recording.

Passan i battaglioni2:51
Historical Context
REDIRE catalogues a separate 1940 record of Passano i battaglioni. Its account places the work among popular songs that carried military subjects to troops and civilians through records, radio and print.
Recording details
Passano i battaglioni is a possible expansion of the supplied Passan i battaglioni. Cetra GP 93145, its 1940 catalogue date and its work credits to Marf (Mario Bonavita) and Bixio Cherubini belong to a separate record; no performance match is established.

Squadristi a noi3:16
Historical Context
Squadristi were Fascist action squads. Research presented by the Parri institute traces the marked expansion of their violence in 1921–1922, with important local differences.
Recording details
REDIRE dates the separate Cetra IT 569 item 1940 ?, explicitly uncertain. That date and its work credits are not assigned to this file; the song’s date and performance remain unknown.
Avanti gloriose schiere2:30
Recording details
No authoritative work match has been established for this title; its wording does not identify a composer or military body.
Sources & Resources
Cara mamma3:12
Recording details
The short family-address title does not distinguish a particular work or issue. No relationship to Caro papà in “Era fascista, Vol. 3” is established.

Ei fu...5 maggio3:08
Historical Context
A library-hosted contents excerpt places Ei fu ... 5 maggio among songs mocking the Negus; a later register offers a separate African-war title comparison. The ICRC documents the invasion of Ethiopia and attacks on medical facilities, giving essential context to this possible colonial satire.
Recording details
The contents excerpt and later register are title leads. No Manzoni or Napoleon recitation, 5 May 1936 event date, Olivieri–Prestini credit, text or audible language is established for this file.
Guidonia2:47
Historical Context
Guidonia was a centre of military aeronautical research. A 1937 radio programme and a later official register offer conflicting composer leads for a march with this title.
Recording details
The 1937 programme names Di Miniello; the later register names G. Carino. The discrepancy remains unresolved. Institutional dates, broadcast listings and register credits do not establish this file’s composition, performers or recording date.
Il saluto del marinaio2:49
Recording details
The selection’s author, ensemble and vocal or instrumental form remain unverified.

Mamma bisogna vincere2:45
Recording details
The victory exhortation in the title does not establish the song’s text, author, wartime date or performance.

Behind the sound
Military names, political violence and uncertain titles
Military references do not supply a single chronology. The Italian navy dates the naming of the Reggimento Marina as San Marco to 17 March 1919. Guidonia presents a different problem: a 1937 radio programme names a march by Di Miniello, while a later official register associates the short title with G. Carino. These conflicting work leads leave the supplied recording’s composer and date unresolved.
Squadristi refers to Fascist action squads. Research presented by the Parri institute describes the marked expansion of their violence in 1921–1922, while emphasizing local differences. REDIRE separately catalogues Squadristi, a noi ! with the uncertain date 1940 ?. A later musical invocation of the squads cannot establish that a supplied recording was made during the early violence, or identify its performers.
The wording Ei fu...5 maggio may be misleading. A library-hosted contents excerpt places it among songs mocking the Negus, and a later official register offers an African-war comparison. Neither lead establishes a Manzoni recitation or identifies this file. The ICRC’s account of the Ethiopian invasion and attacks on medical facilities keeps colonial violence visible beside the possibility of a triumphalist satirical song.
Presented for critical historical study. Fascist squad violence, colonial triumphalism, racism and dictatorship are not endorsed.
