I was in Italy and a group of youngsters were singing a very rythmic song going "Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao...".
I thought it really nice and was told it was derived from a work from Verdi.
Does anyone know which one ?

Hi, it's a popular song of 1943... Bye from Italy!
Autore: Canzone popolare Anno 1943
Stamattina mi sono alzato/ o bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao/ stamattina mi sono alzato/ e ci ho trovato l'invasor.
O partigiano, portami via/ o bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao/ o partigiano, portami via/ che mi sento di morir.
E se muoio da partigiano/ o bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao/ e se muoio da partigiano/ tu mi devi seppellir.
Seppellire lassù in montagna/ o bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao/ seppellire lassù in montagna/ sotto l'ombra di un bel fior.
E le genti che passeranno/ o bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao/ e le genti che passeranno/ e diranno: o che bel fior!.
E' questo il fiore del partigiano/ o bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao/ è questo il fiore del partigiano/ morto per la libertà

Hi... I've found no reference to Verdi. It's a folk song... an Italian partisan song from WWII with unknown origins. There's an mp3 file to listen:)
