I will check, Unfortunately for me Fo doesn't list the title of the song in 
the play, but I have run net searches for the lyrics--Our homeland is the 
whole world, revolution is in our hearts (though in Italian, of course) and 
have not gotten anything but an opera about Turks in Italy, which I don't 
think is the same song...

Anyway, I will check the above source if I can find it.  I want to have the 
Constable actually playing the guitar mentioned and have the cast singing so 
I need a recording to get the cast used to singing in italian and approximate 
guitar chords for the Constable to play along behind them.

I've even joined the Anarchist List Server in hopes of getting some assist, 
but so far they seem a bit too busy to sing much.

Thanks for the tips--
