"Fischia il vento" ("The Wind Whistles") is an Italian popular song whose text was written in late 1943, at the inception of the Resistance. The tune is based on the Russian song "Katyusha". 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.[1]
