"Mazurek Dąbrowskiego" is the national anthem of Poland. It is also known by its original title, "Pieśń Legionów Polskich we Włoszech". The lyrics were written by Józef Wybicki in Reggio Emilia, Cisalpine Republic in Northern Italy, between 16 and 19 of July, 1797, two years after the Third Partition of Poland erased the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth from the map.
