the bella ciao program might be considered creative or good in some people’s eyes but for me it’s incredibly tone death and impolite to italians.

for context, bella ciao is an italian protest song from the 1940s. bella ciao translates to “goodbye beautiful”. underpaid women working in rice fields of northern italy would sing bella ciao to cope with the intense labour they had to go through.

this song was rooted from the civil water and was later adapted into an anti-fascist anthem. this song might be positive for some people, it has an incredibly deep emotional history for many italians. this song is about war and brings back painful memories.

it used to be illegal to sing bella ciao in many towns. some were shot for singing this song as protest. bella ciao is considered impolite to play this italy (played out of context).

yes, this song might be in money heist on netflix but in my opinion it’s still very impolite and offensive to italians to skate to this song, especially since there are many italian figure skating fans.

bella ciao can be seen as a powerful song but please be wary of the deep emotional meaning behind this song.
