The Mona Lisa, known in Italy as La Gioconda, has hung in the Louvre in Paris for centuries, and Italian football supporters turned that old cultural sore point into a stadium chant. Sung mainly when Italian clubs or the national team face French opposition, 'ridacci la nostra Gioconda' demands the painting's return to Italy. Videos of packed stands belting it out spread the chant across fan pages and meme soundboards. It sits alongside other football terrace sounds such as the Suuuuuuuuuuuuu roar, Brazilian chants like Vai Corinthians, and raw crowd cheering.

Italian ultras chant 'ridacci la nostra gioconda', demanding the Mona Lisa back from France. A 13-second football crowd clip aimed at French teams.
This is a recording of Italian football supporters chanting 'ridacci la nostra gioconda' — 'give us back our Mona Lisa' — in unison, a thirteen-second burst of terrace vocals. The voices rise and fall together in the rhythmic, slightly ragged cadence of a stadium crowd, drums and clapping often swelling underneath. It sounds defiant and playful at once: part protest, part joke, the kind of chant that makes a whole stand bounce. For viewers it lands as pure football atmosphere, instantly signalling Italian pride and the old sporting rivalry with France.
