The recent discovery of an unpublished document of the Spanish Civil War has been the occasion to reflect once more on this troubled period of the recent European history. The document at issue is a collection of lyrics which belonged to the Divisione Mista Frecce, a special Italo-Spanish detachment that took part in the conflict that shook the Iberian peninsula between 1936-1939. Thanks to a careful analysis and a historical contextualization of the document we have been allowed to make a short though exhaustive investigation into this little known page of the history. One of the major objectives is to provide the reader with an interpretation of this “find”, not only from the textual point of view, but from the musical and iconographic ones as well.
