"Nissa la Bella" (Nice the Beautiful) is the unofficial anthem of the city of
Nice,
France. It is written in
Niçard, a dialect of
Occitan that is the original language of the city. It was written by
Menica Rondelly in 1903, first under the title of A la mieu bella Nissa; the song takes its actual name in 1906, after some arrangements.[1] An alternative version, Nissa rebella, has been sung by the artist Mauris Sgaravizzi in the 1980's.[2]
