The "Pontifical Anthem and March" (Italian: Inno e Marcia Pontificale, Latin: Hymnus et modus militaris Pontificalis), also known as the "Papal Anthem", is the anthem played to mark the presence of the Pope or one of his representatives, such as a nuncio, and on other solemn occasions. When the Vatican's flag is ceremonially raised, only the first eight bars are played.

While the Papal Anthem also serves as the national anthem of the Holy See and the Vatican City State, the Vatican stresses that it "is not to be understood as a national anthem"; it is a composition whose words and music "speak to the heart of many throughout the world who see in Rome the See of Peter."

FRANÇAIS: Inno e Marcia Pontificale (Hymne et Marche Pontificale) est l'hymne national et pontifical (on trouve aussi hymne papal) du Vatican.

Il s'agit du seul hymne national du monde à être chanté dans une langue ancienne, le latin (langue officielle de la Sainte Église catholique).
