Lyrics from the Italian anti-fascist anthem "Bella Ciao" were found inscribed on bullet casings recovered from the scene of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. 22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been arrested in connection with the killing. Utah Governor Spencer Cox announced the arrest and the discovery of the inscribed bullets. "Bella Ciao", with origins in 19th-century Italian folk music, has evolved from a song about rice field workers to a global anti-fascist anthem, appearing in various media such as the Netflix series Money Heist and the video game Far Cry 6. Scholars express concern over the song's association with political violence.
