Discover the story of the song > Berta filava – Rino Gaetano

The song tells the story of Berta, who is busy spinning wool. She also spins the toxic material called asbestos from the robe of a saint who was burned at the stake. Berta has a child with Mario, but it's not his, and she also has a child with Gino. The song repeats the idea of Berta spinning and the people commenting on the saint's robe. At the end, Berta is still spinning, this time with Gino, and she is also rocking the baby while spinning asbestos.
