Whenever I stumble across a song I like on youtube I download it into my personal music folder, I started this practice more than 4 years ago and I accumulated a large amount of socialist music from very niche spaces, spanning across a wide variety of languages. Because I see that nobody else is doing this specific thing on this site, I feel compelled to share this collection track by track, maybe it will lead to someone else also feeling the same inspiration that I felt when first listening to it.


The story of the Italian communist movement is a tragic one, but there are few western countries where the population has so persistently pursued those ideas. Fischia Il Vento is an older song from the days of the partisan struggle inside Italy, being first composed in 1943 and adopted as the unofficial anthem of the Garibaldi Brigades, the communist unit of the resistance which was also by far the largest partisan group.

The song took the melody of Katyusha and many musician groups have decided to make their own rendition, the rendition I chose was made by the Modena City Ramblers and published in 2015. While communism in Italy has sadly been beaten back by the relentless efforts of Gladio-backed terrorism, I would say that songs like this still being published as far as 2015 and getting almost 600 thousand views is evidence that it has been by no means defeated.
