Always from our Risorgimento we gladly retrieve a very happy song, of which it would be a real shame to lose its memory as it is also part of our heritage of folk songs.

The title of this song is very controversial, as are the verses, the order of the verses, the year of birth and even the author.

The title of this song is "Rivista al Corredo", but it is also known as "La Stella dei Soldati" or "La Rivista Garibaldina" or "E Le Stellette" or "E tu biondina".

The refrain was taken from the song "La Stella dei Soldati". The date of origin is estimated at 1866 and on the stanzas it is assumed that they were improvised by the soldiers who sang it.

How did it go?
Well the most likely story is very similar to that of the symbolic song of France "La Marseillaise" born spontaneously during the march of French soldiers from Marseille to Paris.
Well, "La Rivista Garibaldina" was born among the ranks of Garibaldi soldiers, almost all of them from the north, during the March of the Thousand in 1860, which lasted 5 months, for the unification of Italy.

The song was still sung during the First World War by the soldiers to cheer up the morale in the trenches, was re-sung during the Second World War and finally was introduced in many issues of the Avanspettacolo Theater and reproposed in the television shows of the 60s.
