We had our launch party for Ciao Bella in Kingston, Ontario yesterday at the lovely Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. The party was a great success with wonderful food and we were lucky to have two talented musicians play for us - Jeremy Ennis on violin and singer Dympna Radford (who is currently working on a new CD). Dympna sang a rendition of "Bella Ciao," the Italian resistance and folk song (translated, it means "Goodbye Sweetheart"). It tells the story of a partisan leaving his sweetheart to fight against the Nazi invaders. If he is killed, he asks her to bury him in the mountains and plant a flower on his grave.
