A crucial aspect of seeing and judging a series that is going beyond the script of the plot. The how the creators want us to stay with the series through multiple tricks ranging from the aesthetics of their characters to the jokes and tonadillas. In the case of ‘The house of stock‘, which is living a new success thanks to its distribution on Netflix, we find the use of the hymn Bella Ciao.
The Bella Ciao is a popular song of Italian that the protagonists used to climb on to the moral and encouraged to resist the police harassment and long cohabitation during the running of the bulls in the Factory of Currency and Timbre, the main stage of the ‘The house of stock’.

But what is the origin of Bella Ciao? In episode 9, in a scene in which we see having dinner in Berlin (Pedro Alonso) with the Teacher (Álvaro Morte), the narrator (Tokyo, Úrsula Corberó) no account of where it comes from in the song. It was the tonadilla used by the Italian resistance (partisan) during the last years of the second World War.
