A life truly amazing that the three sisters go down in history as Trio Lescano: Alexandrina said Sandra, said Judith Giuditta and Catharina or Catherine Kitty said.
A life that most of us, born after their great success, and did not know that the TV drama Swing Girls 27 and broadcast on September 28, 2010 by Rai Uno - with Andrea Osvart, Lotte Verbeek, Sylvia Kristel, Giuseppe Battiston Sergio Assisi and Marina Massironi - has reconstructed very well.

The music comes directly from overseas, from America, is the swing, a new music, revolutionary for Italy, the homeland of Bel Canto, compelling music that you can not hear you standing, sitting: ballad goes.
But words can not joke: it talks about love, courtship, Eros, explicitly, in a time when the Catholic Church in Italy still had an immense burden in Italian culture, but in which fascism was revolutionizing the whole a system that immediately liked this kind of music, until he began to look with suspicion, was the worst enemies of music: it was the music of the Negro!
