In Italy, many recognize songs like 'Tulli-Tulli-Tullipan' and 'Ciribiribin,' but few remember the Trio Lescano, three Dutch sisters with Jewish roots behind these tunes. After arriving in Turin during the 1930s, they soared to fame, selling records and even gaining Mussolini's admiration. Their success waned in 1942 due to their Jewish heritage, and they faced further challenges during the war. A post-war comeback struggled, leading them to tour in Argentina. Eventually, the trio disbanded, and their story was largely forgotten until a documentary, "Tulip Time," uncovered their remarkable journey.
