Protest Songs: Bella Ciao

Protest Songs: Bella Ciao


In the final episode of our Protest Songs mini-series, we discuss
the history and ongoing significance of the Italian protest song
‘Bella Ciao’.


Josephine Burton speaks to Professor
Philip Cooke about the origins of the song and how its
history has been gendered throughout time. Italian singer and
songwriter, Virginia Sirolli, speaks of her
personal connection to the song and its adaptations, and
Composer Orlando Gough discusses how he used it
in a recent production at The Globe and its powerful adaptability
across multiple cultures and countries.
