But one of the things that stands out in the show is the emphasis on 'la resistance', the significance of 'bella ciao'', and the iconic Dalí mask paired with the red overalls. 

          Most people think that the mask with the big curling moustache and huge eyes is just another ordinary mask to hide the faces. But that's not the case with this mask. In fact, it has a hidden meaning that goes way back to the 20th century whenSalvador Dalí, a Spanish artist who was known for his ideology and his support for the resistance against modern capitalistic values.

Salvador Dalí became so famous due to his ideologies that he once became the symbol of the movement. The red overalls on the show also have meaning. Red colour had been used to symbolise that one isn't less than the other.

Another important aspect of the show Money Heist is the importance that has been given to the song 'Bella ciao' ciao'. The iconic song was basically a folk Lore Singh by the Italians at their time of sorrow when the Italy was under the rule of fascists and Germans tyrants. The song is about how a partisan leaves his home while saying goodbye to his significant other to fight the fascist government. This song was invented by women in farming fields waiting for the partisans to return home after the war. The song gradually spread amongst the people and it gave them the courage to stand up to the bad people. This song gained major popularity after 'La casa de papel' was aired on Netflix.  'click on the image below to listen to the song from MH'
