JB Green sounds the Italian bugle call of Il Silenzio and Taps at the Italian Embassy. Although the two calls sound similar and used for the same purpose they are different calls
In Italy, the call for lights out is called “Il Silenzio” (The Silence) and there are two versions. Silenzio d’Ordinanza (The Ordinance) is sounded at night when soldiers have to gone to sleep and also used at military funeral services. The other version, Silenzio Fuori Ordinanza (Out of Ordinance), is three minutes long and is played to celebrate the last night of military service. In Italy, military service is mandatory and lasts twelve months. This version played on a trumpet was a big hit on the Italian pop list in the 1960s made popular by the trumpeter Nini Rosso.
