The trio was an Italian version of American groups such as the Andrews Sisters or Boswell Sisters, and was formed by three Dutch sisters Alexandra (1910-1987), Judith (1913-2007), and Kitty Leschan (1919-1965), whose names were italianized into Alessandra, Giuditta and Caterinetta (Caterina) Lescano. The three girls were born of an Hungarian contortionist and a Dutch Jewish operetta singer. They grew up in the Netherlands, where they worked as acrobats before forming a vocal trio. They arrived in Italy in mid 1930s, and took up the name Trio Lescano. Directed by maestro Carlo Prato and thanks to the radio, they became immediately so famous that even Benito Mussolini, passing by their balcony one day, recognized them and stopped to greet them. In 1939, the year of the hit song Se potessi avere mille lire al mese ("If only I had one thousand liras a month"), Trio Lescano made one thousand liras a day! In 1941 the Lescano sisters became Italian citizens. This made big news on the Italian papers, who had invented for them such definitions as "the three graces of the microphone", "the century's sensation", "the sisters who materialize the mystery of the heavenly trinity". But just two years later, their golden period tragically ended: because of their mother's Jewish origins, they were first cancelled from all radio programs, then stripped of their newly acquired Italian citizenship, arrested and imprisoned on allegations of espionage. The accusation was their songs contained encoded messages for the enemy. Once the war was over, after a two years' silence, Trio Lescano wanted to bid farewell to their Italian audience with a final performance broadcast live by the radio on 1 September 1945. In 1947, the three sisters moved to South America, where their artistic career continued. The Trio Lescano's style was based on sophisticated vocal virtuosisms - a technique called vocalese - on swing and jazz harmonizations. Their greatest hits include Signorine Grandi Firme, Maramao perché sei morto, Ma le gambe, Pippo non lo sa, Camminando sotto la pioggia, La famiglia canterina, C’è un’orchestra sincopata, Tulipan, Il pinguino innamorato. A documentary film Tulip Time: The Rise and Fall of the Trio Lescano premiered at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival on 30 July 2008.
- Trio Lescano - grupa wokalna popularna we Włoszech w latach 30 i 40 XX wieku. Była to włoska wersja zespołu The Andrews Sisters. W jego skład wchodziły trzy Holenderki, siostry: Alexandra (1910 - 1987), Judith (1913 - ?) i Kitty Leschan (1919 - 1965), które po przyjęciu włoskiego obywatelstwa w 1941 zmieniły imiona na: Alessandra, Giuditta i Caterinetta (Caterina) Lescano. Wychowały się w Holandii, początkowo pracowały jako akrobatki, później zaczęły śpiewać. Do Włoch przyjechały w połowie lat 30. , zostały odkryte przez Carla Prato i zadebiutowały jako Trio Lescano. Dzięki radiu stały się szybko bardzo popularne. Poczatkowo towarzyszyły słynnym gwiazdom muzyki popularnej, takim jak: Ernesto Boninio i Silvana Fioresi, aby w końcu występować z własnym repertuarem. Do ich najsłynniejszych piosenek należały: Maramao perché sei morto, Ma le gambe, Pippo non lo sa, Tulipan i Il pinguino innamorato. Sukcesy zespołu skończyły się nagle w 1943. Z powodu żydowskiego pochodzenia ich matki, najpierw wszystkie ich piosenki zostały wycofane z programów radiowych, a następnie siostry zostały aresztowane i osadzone w więzieniu pod zarzutem szpiegostwa. Dowodem miały być teksty ich piosenek, które rzekomo miały zawierać zaszyfrowane informacje. Po wojnie siostry przeniosły się do Ameryki Południowej, gdzie kontynuowały swoją karierę.
