| BELLA CIAO 1. La cosiddetta "Bella Ciao delle Mondine" di Vasco Scansani (1952) 1. The so-called "Riceweeders Version" of Bella Ciao by Vasco Scansani (1952)  Vasco Scansani. Tornando al “Canto delle Mondine”, Cesare Bermani ha dimostrato che Vasco Scansani, di Gualtieri (RE), mondino, marmista e pittore detto “Il Cachi” (fu anche amico del celebre pittore naïf Antonio Ligabue) lo aveva scritto, quando già “Bella Ciao” si era diffuso, riprendendone fedelmente la struttura e la melodia. Secondo il figlio di Vasco Scansani, Alfio, che conserva numerosi documenti del padre, la “versione delle mondine” sarebbe stata scritta nell'estate del 1952, mentre la famiglia Scansani si trovava al mare. Alla diffusione della leggenda del “canto originario delle mondine” avrebbe contribuito anche il fatto che a Gualtieri abitava anche Giovanna Daffini; non solo a Gualtieri, ma anche nello stesso stabile della famiglia Scansani, Palazzo Bentivoglio. Giovanna Daffini, la grande cantrice popolare, era, come è noto, proprio una mondina. Ciononostante, nella pagina manteniamo il primo posto a questo canto: un po' -oramai- per tradizione, e un po' perché il suo spostamento comporterebbe una ristrutturazione troppo ardua di questa enorme pagina. [RV] Vasco Scansani. Returning to the “Bella Ciao of Riceweeders”, Cesare Bermani demonstrated that Vasco Scansani, from Gualtieri in the province of Reggio Emilia -a riceweeder, marble worker and painter nicknamed "Il Cachi" (he was also a friend of the famous naive painter Antonio Ligabue)- wrote it when the standard "Bella Ciao" had already spread, faithfully reproducing its structure and melody. According to Vasco Scansani's son Alfio, who keeps several of his father's documents, the "Riceweeders' version" was written in summer 1952, while the Scansani family was on seaside holiday. The fact that also Giovanna Daffini was then living in Gualtieri might have contributed to the spreading of the legend of the "original song”; not only Giovanna Daffini lived in Gualtieri, but also in the same building as the Scansani family's, Bentivoglio palace. Giovanna Daffini, the great popular singer, was a woman riceweeder. Nonetheless, we keep this song in first position in this page: just for tradition, why not, and also because its replacement would entail too difficult a restructuring of this huge page.
