"Bella Ciao" was an Italian folk song that took on a political meaning. According to Arts and Terror by Vladimir L. Marchenkov, "Bella Ciao"—which translates to "Goodbye Beautiful"—is an Italian folk song that was used as an anthem for the anti-fascist resistance and sung worldwide as a hymn of freedom. And in Jerry Silverman's book Songs That Made History Around the World, Silverman reports that it was first sung by women working in the fields of Northern Italy while trying to pass the time.
