Additional Music performed by the Cast
"Bella ciao" is an Italian protest folk song that originated in the hardships of the mondina women, the paddy field
workers in the late 19th century who sang it to protest against harsh working conditions in the paddy fields of North
Italy. The song was adopted as an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance by the Italian partisans, between 1943 and
1945 during the Italian Resistance, the resistance of Italian partisans against the Nazi German forces occupying Italy,
during the Italian Civil War, and the Italian partisan struggle against the fascist Italian Social Republic and its Nazi
German allies. Versions of "Bella Ciao" are sung worldwide as an anti-fascist hymn of freedom and resistance. In
addition to the original Italian, the song has been recorded by various artists in many different languages. The author
of the lyrics is unknown.
