SYRENE on Instagram: ""Bella Ciao" was originally written in the late 19th century to protest harsh working conditions in Italy, but its meaning later evolved to combat fascism in the 40s. the word "partigiano" directly translates to "partisan," and I feel this is an important distinction to note because at the time, it held powerful meaning given that each country was its own partisan. I have chosen the word "resistance" because it feels like a close enough synonym to use in current day context
