US pop legend Madonna sang the iconic WWII Resistance ditty 'Bella Ciao' as she continued her week-long 63rd birthday celebrations in her much-loved Puglia region on Thurday night, sources said Friday. The singer, born Madonna Lousie Ciccone and whose paternal grandparents came from Pacentro near L'Aquila in Abruzzo, turned 63 on Monday and has been coming to the heel of Italy for several years.
This summer she came to the 'white city' of Ostuni with her 26-year-old dancer boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams, her children and a large staff. While singing Bella Ciao she accompanied herself on the local tambourine, the tamburello, with famed Puglia tarantella outfit I Terraross. Madonna posted pictures of the birthday party on Instagram choosing Domenico Modugno's immortal 'Nel blu dipinto di blu' as her backing track.
