Is the song Il Silenzio same as song Taps?

Taps is a bugle call written in 1832 and Il Silenzio was written in 1965. Although the first six notes of both songs are the same, Il Silenzio then diverges into a melody that can't even be played on a bugle. Taps is a bugle call and Il Silenzio is a love song. Undoubtedly Nino Rosso, who wrote Il Silenzio, was inspired by Taps. But they are two different tunes.
