La Lega is a popular[citation needed] Italian song from Padua, sung by the rice-growers of the Po Valley. It is the symbol of the revolt of the agricultural workers against their bosses at the end of the 19th century, when the leagues were starting to be created. It may be heard in Bernardo Bertolucci's film 1900 when the farmers, under Anna's leadership, start to demonstrate against the expulsion of the farmers who couldn't pay their debt to their wealthy land-owners.
