Tune of the Day: Quel mazzolin di fiori
Traditional Italian folk song
This folk song comes from Northern Italy, and is one of the most famous songs of the Alpini, a mountain infantry corps of the Italian Army. It is about a girl who wants to donate a bouquet of flowers to her boyfriend, but is sad because she knows that on Saturday her boyfriend went to visit another girl, called Rosina.
