Today we celebrate something in Italy, a very important festivity that we call “Liberazione”, liberation. From whom? From the Nazi.
“Bella Ciao” is a famous Italian folk song from the 19th century that was later adopted by the partisans to be sung as a song of protest against the Fascism. It came to be known as a song of freedom but it was only a few years ago, thanks to the Spanish Netflix show called Money Heist, that the song has had renewed popularity. “Resistance” is indeed a recurrent word in the series.
After that, the song has been sung all over the world in protests and peaceful fights against tyranny.
