Inno

Inno is a term with multiple uses, centered on the Italian noun meaning hymn or anthem. In Italian, inno (plural inni) refers to a song of praise used in religious, ceremonial, or national contexts. The word derives from Latin hymnus.

In music and culture, the term is used for hymns and national songs. The Italian national anthem is commonly described as an inno, known as Inno di Mameli, with the music composed by Michele Novaro and the lyrics written by Goffredo Mameli. The phrase is often used to indicate a ceremonial or patriotic song within Italian contexts.

Beyond its linguistic sense, Inno also appears as a proper name and as a brand or company name in various regions. Such uses are regionally specific and may refer to people, organizations, or products rather than a single established entity.

Because of its diverse usage, readers seeking information on Inno should consider context and regional language to identify the intended reference. In academic or encyclopedic writing, disambiguation typically relies on clarifying whether the term refers to the Italian word, a specific song, or a proper noun in a particular locale.
