Canto degli italiani o Fratelli d'Italia, 1847. Es el himno actual, adaptado a la República más que a la monarquía resultante del proceso de unificación.
Bella Ciao, from the late 19th century, originally sung by the mondina workers in protest against the harsh working conditions in the paddy fields of Northern Italy.
It is widely assumed that the mondina song was modified and adopted as an anthem of the Italian partisans who opposed Nazism and fascism, and fought against the occupying forces of Nazi Germany, who were allied with the fascist and collaborationist Italian Social Republic between 1943 and 1945 during the Italian resistance and the liberation of Italy.
Versions of "Bella ciao" continue to be sung worldwide as a hymn of freedom and resistance.
