Bandiera Rossa
''Bandiera Rossa'' (Italian, 'Red Flag'), often also called ''Avanti Popolo'' after its opening words (also to avoid any confusion with ''Le tre bandiere'', another socialist song), is one of the most famous songs of the Italian labour movement. It glorifies the red flag, symbol of the socialist and communist movements. The text was written by Carlo Tuzzi in 1908; the melody is taken from two Lombard folk songs. Versions Apart from the first Italian text, there are several variants which are identified with certain socialist or communist parties. The last two lines "''Evviva il comunismo e la libertà''" were put in the text after the rise of Benito Mussolini; at the same time the original beginning "''Compagni avanti alla riscossa''" was changed to "''Avanti o popolo, alla riscossa''". Also, the word "''comunismo''" at the end of the chorus is often replaced with "''socialismo''", especially in more recent renderings of the song. Influence on other works Art music ''Bandiera ...

Political Party Songs
Politics () is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science. Politics may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and non-violent, or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but the word often also carries a negative connotation.. The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or in a limited way, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it. A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising internal and external for ...

Fischia Il Vento
"Fischia il vento" ("The Wind Whistles") is an Italian popular song whose text was written in late 1943, at the inception of the Resistance. The tune is based on the Russian song "Katyusha". Along with "Bella ciao" it is one of the most famous songs celebrating the Italian resistance, the anti-fascist movement that fought the forces that occupied Italy during World War II. History The song was broadcast after 8 September 1943 between the high valley of Andora - Stellanello in ''Passu du Beu'' behind the Pizzo d'Evigno and afterwards above Curenna, in the "Casone dei Crovi", in the high Valley of Albenga, where the partisan squad led by Felice Cascione took refuge. During that period there were still no partisan songs; therefore, people sang old communist and socialist songs: ''L'Internazionale'', ''La guardia rossa'', ''Bandiera rossa'' or the song of anarchic origin ''Addio Lugano Bella'', transformed into ''Addio Imperia Bella'', ''Vieni o maggio'' (o ''Canzone del maggio'') ...

Bella Ciao
"Bella ciao" () is an Italian song dedicated to the partisans of the Italian resistance, who fought against the occupying troops of Nazi Germany and the collaborationist Fascist forces during the liberation of Italy. The exact origins are not known, but it is theorized to be based on a folk song of the late 19th century, sung by female workers ('' mondine'') of the paddy fields in Northern Italy in protest against harsh working conditions. There is little evidence of the song being used during World War II, with the current "partisan version" only becoming widespread after it ended. Versions of "Bella ciao" continue to be sung worldwide as a hymn of resistance against injustice and oppression. History The origins of the song are unclear, although one hypothesis is that "Bella ciao" was originally sung as "''Alla mattina appena alzata''" ("In the morning as soon as I woke up") by seasonal workers of paddy fields of rice, especially in Italy's Po Valley from the late 19th cent ...

The Standard Of Revolt
"The Standard of Revolt", known by its original title "The Red Flag" (French: ''Le drapeau rouge'', ), is a French socialist and anarchist revolutionary song written in 1877 by Paul Brousse to the melody of the Swiss patriotic song "The Shores of Free Sarine" (French: ''Les bords de la libre Sarine'') by Jacques Vogt. The English translation by M. L. Korr, published in 1932 is not based directly on the original French lyrics, but on the substantially modified Polish 1882 version by Bolesław Czerwieński, titled „Czerwony sztandar“ ("The Red Standard"), which became the anthem of the Polish Socialist Party.
