April 25th is, for my country, one of the most important day, the day of Freedom.
75 Years of freedom is what we celebrate tomorrow and, for the very first time, we will not go outside, to walk in a park, in the mountains, on the seaside, enjoying the warm temperature of the middle of springtime.
The week between April 25th and may 1st has been for me an opportunity to explore new places, and to take photo.
This year we will be at home.
April 25th is a day with a song: “Bella Ciao”, that tell the story of the fight for freedom.
This year the song is played and sung from home by numerous choirs who, as in our meet-ups, do it each from their own home.
I wanted to share a couple, the ones that in my opinion are most significant: the “Musica et Ludus” choir, and a spontaneous choir of the English Fire Brigade, sung in honor of Italy.
Thank you all for celebrating Freedom with us.
The sun rises every day
Ciao @ErmesT it is true, it is the first time that we Italians will not be free to enjoy a nice mild day around our “Bel Paese”. This thing makes me think and makes me sad at the same time … but after all it makes me hopeful for a better future, to get up stronger than before. We must never lose the optimistic spirit! We have to hold on, stay safe, friend
Hi @ErmesT thanks for sharing this touching tribute. I loved both videos and I learned more about your country and the song “Bella Ciao” that I knew thanks to a tv serie. Stay strong, better times will come back soon.
@ErmesT beautiful song, with a great message … our solidarity in this commemoration so important for Italians …
As already said, the second video cannot be played …
many thanks for sharing. I never studied in History about this side of the WW2 in Italy, just about the cooperation of Mussolini with the Axis. Thanks to your post I learned that there was a meaningful resistance movement. Wish you health and all the Italians fast remedy from the Corona crisis. Greets, Benny.
Felicitaciones por la libertad @ErmesT , esto es cuando el ejercito de EEUU, entra en Italia y los libera del Duche? O es cuando la resistencia de los partisanos Italianos logran derribar al Duche. Es una gran fecha
Bella Ciao is the symbol of the Italian resistance, and one of the most know Italian song. A sad song, who spoke of the people of the resistance, mountains and solitude. That’s why I find the song absolutely appropriate, in this very moment. Freedom is not easy to obtain. They resisted, like we should resist now, for a new, beautiful freedom.
Greetings to all Italians on this great day, may this day bring renewed unity and prosperity to your people and country. Happy Independence Day#LetsGuide#LocalGuudes#TeamItaly
To stay healthy is now our battle for freedom, @helga19 , we are all together in this new, unexpected and unseen experience. Hope we will learn something about the planet. Soon for us the freedom will come. One day we will smell the freedom like now we smell the flowers, fresh air, wind. We will rediscover the beauty of the rain on our face.
