Italy
"Marcia Reale d'Ordinanza" (Royal March of Ordinance)

Music by: Giuseppe Gabetti
In use: 1861-1946

This anthem was Italy's first anthem in use, during its time as a kingdom. Officially there were no words, however several poets wrote words for the anthem, yet none were official. During the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini, this anthem remained official, as well as the "Giovinezza" as a second national anthem.
