"Fischia il vento" ("The Wind Whistles") is an Italian popular song whose text was written in late 1943, at the inception of the Resistance.
Along with "Bella ciao" it is one of the most famous songs celebrating the Italian resistance, the anti-fascist movement that fought the forces that occupied Italy during World War II.
Giacomo Sibilla, battle name Ivan, survivor of the campaign of Russia, joined the partisan squad led by Felice Cascione, where he was added into the 2nd Regiment Genio Pontieri.
The composition was terminated in the Casone dei Crovi, a location not too distant from the Monte Peso Grande, occupied by partisans in the beginning of the winter of 1943.
[2] The song was sung for the first time in Curenna, fraction of Vendone, in Christmas 1943, but it was broadcast officially in Alto, in the square in front of the church, the day of Epiphany 1944.
The wind whistles, the storm rages, our shoes are broken but we must march on, to conquer the red spring, where the sun of the future rises.
