In September 1943, the future king of Italy Umberto II chose it as the new national anthem, replacing the "Marcia Reale".

Today, the song is popular in Italy and played by a military band on National Unity and Armed Forces Day (November 4).

Ma in una notte trista Si parlò di un fosco evento E il Piave udiva l'ira e lo sgomento.

General Armando Diaz addressed a personal telegram to the author to thank him for his musical contribution to the military victory of the Italian army.

Today, "La Leggenda del Piave" is still widely popular and is commonly played during official ceremonies to remember the fallen and the final victory.
