Civilians fill the streets of Milan, Italy, on April 25, 1945, to celebrate their liberation by Italian partisans from Nazi German forces and the fascist regime. Many believe the famous Italian anti-fascist anthem "Bella Ciao" to be associated with World War II, but the song gained widespread popularity only a few years after World War II.

From its association with workers’ rights in the 19th century to its inclusion in a video game, the famous old Italian song “Bella Ciao” has an evolving legacy.
