35. Let Me Teach You The Saddest Song! BELLA CIAO Fingerstyle Ukulele

In this ukulele lesson you will learn how to play Bella Ciao, the popular Italian song from the 19th Century.

Bella Ciao became quite popular over the past few years since it was the main theme of Money Heist, the popular Netflix series.

However, the song goes back to the 19th Century. It originated in Northern Italy, and it was sung by mondina workers in protest of the harsh working conditions.

The Italian partisans then used it in World War II. It became an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance.

Quite a sad yet beautiful song to learn.
