Planning to print these out and get a protest crowd singing. Then, we’ll plaster them around my local city.

Artwork is not mine and I’ve reached out to the artist to approve the use of the background.

Does anyone have any critiques/ideas about the layout/content? Planning to print 2 each on a landscape 8.5x11.

      Sorry for providing suboptimal help 😅. I’ve now got the melody in my head and understand you want to sing the whole song and not just BC, BC, BCCC
      For others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_ciao - watch the video with the accordion player
      To be brutally honest, I liked the lyrics (and text, including 'gonna) of V1 better - both for metre (how it sounds singing) and consistency in feel (tone) of the song
      I prefer the last line in V2, but you might find a better one
      I think this may be my best suggestion of all. Put a few musical notes around the margins or some other heads-up that these are lyrics to sing (hold onto this paper). “sing along” or “lyrics”. Musical notes might be subtle but effective
      You could maybe move the lower left text about the origin right beside/under the “Bella Ciao” title

      I wish I could sing with you and the group of people at the protest you’ll be going to! ❤️ Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao!!! 🎶
