Today in the Italian Republic they're commemorating the 79^th^ annual Day of Liberation from the nazi-fascists in 1945. The linked song, Bella Ciao is the de facto anthem for the Italian resistance and, according to Wikipedia…

Versions of "Bella ciao" continue to be sung worldwide as a hymn of freedom and resistance.
