*70 copies limited edition* In the mid-1960s, Teresa Viarengo, one of the most vivid memories of Piedmontese folk repertoire, confided this song among many others to Franco Coggiola and Roberto Leydi. The ballad is also mentioned under the title “Un'Eroina nei Canti popolari del Piemonte” (A Heroine in the Folk Songs of Piedmont) by Costantino Nigra. It is a bloody story in which a count marries Munglesa, the daughter of a baker, takes her to his castle and, along the way, confesses that he has murdered his 52 previous wives and intends to do the same to her. But the young woman manages to escape courageously, cutting off the despot's head with his own sword.
