La notte delle streghe a San Giovanni. E il popolo si scatena

pagan origins, but the Church's saddled the name of a saint .
..
The ancient astronomers had identified the shortest and longest days of the year, along with shamans and priests there had placed the great festivals. That of the summer solstice, when the length of daylight is greatest, has been transformed by the church in celebration of St. John the Baptist in the vicinity of the winter solstice, Dec. 27 is devoted to another St. John, 'Evans. But the old traditions pagan related to the movement of the stars, they lasted a long time and still lasts. Belli, at the time of the Pope King, outlines the characteristics of witchcraft and diabolical feast of St. John the Baptist, that of 24 June which are just a few thousand year tradition of the longest day of the year.

Versione . San Giovanni di giugno (San Giovanni Battista). Domani è San Giovanni? Ebbene, figlio mio, questa notte coloro che esercitano il mestiere di streghe, stregoni e fattucchiere e per i quali il demonio è il loro dio, si trasformano in bestie, e ti dico anche che la fisionomia di queste fiere, quantunque tutte quante nere nere, rassomiglia a più di un giudeo [gli ebrei, nell’immaginario dell’ignorante popolino romano, passavano per abilissimi incantatori]. E poi vanno tutti a San Giovanni che è il loro santo protettore da almeno seimila anni. Ma a me con uno scopiglio al giustacuore e una o due teste d'aglio sotto i panni, mi devono rispettare come un signore [alla scopa e all'aglio si attribuivano facoltà protettive contro streghe e stregonerie].
.
In un altro sonetto, " La strega", il Belli approfondisce il tema delle streghe, che si manifestano durante la notte di San Giovanni, e abitualmente si riuniscono con i diavoli per il sabba sotto il noce di Benevento.
.
LA STREGA
Sta vecchiaccia cqua in faccia è er mi’ spavento:
nun fa antro che incanti e inciarmature,
fattucchierie, stregonerie, fatture,
sortileggi e mmaggie, oggni momento.
Smove li fattijjoli a le crature,
e oggni notte, sopr’acqua e ssopr’a vvento
er demonio la porta a Bbenevento
sotto la nosce de le gran pavure.
Llí cco le streghe straformate in mostri
bballa er fannango, e jje fanno l’orchestra
li diavoli vestiti da Cajjostri.
Tutte le sere, io e lla Maestra,
ar meno pe ssarvà lli fijji nostri,
je mettémo la scopa a la finestra.

Versione . La strega. Questa vecchiaccia qua di fronte mi mette paura: non fa altro che incantesimi, inciarmature and sorcerers (three words have the same meaning) sorcery, invoices, and magic spells at any time. Sickens children seizures (infantijoli. popular voice of 'Umbria), and every night, and sopracqua above' in the Wind (formula of exorcism of witches to the devil) the devil carries a Benevento under the walnut tree of the great fears (where it is believed to take place the infernal sabbath). Li with the witches turned into monsters dancing the fandango and the orchestra are the devils dressed as Cagliostro (Joseph Balsamo, called Cagliostro, was considered the incarnation of the devil by the populace). Every night me and the teacher, at least to save our children, we put a broom in the window (the object was believed to be a protection against witches).

Hunting wise women, or the "witches" .
.
Belli indulges in these sonnets to popular belief most dismal in terms of witches and witchcraft. Helped in this by the Catholic Church, which still gives some figures of the clergy, the exorcists, law enforcement powers to the forces of evil, to ward off the devil has taken possession of people. At the time of the temporal power of the Popes, recognized women as witches were interrogated by the Inquisition, to know their relationship with the devil, tortured as was the use, to confess their alleged sins, and then sentenced to death and burned at the stake. At the time of the Beautiful, in fact, the practice was widespread, ancient, due to the shamans of prehistoric times, to turn to people sensitive to magic and other esoteric activities. Wizards or assumed, we all know, still exist today, but are no longer burned at the most spend some time in the nation's prisons for abuse of popular credulity, circumvention of an incapable, fraud etc..
But on the feast of St. John the Baptist give the floor to Giggi Zanazzo, another great Roman. His chronicles tell us picnics, eat the snails, the free play of 'eroticism and sexuality that traditionally accompany a party official religion, but in reality festival of light - is the longest day of the year - and the joy of reconciliation with the next (Paolo Bordini)

The chronicle of a real live "Roman"

"The viggija de San Giuvanni, we use the night of Anna, as you know, in San Giuvanni Dairy apregà er and Santo de magna snails in the inns and cabins in de pe that if they lie in wait 'That night . For de la Porte, to the ascent of the spirits, there was Several years ago, the tavern of the Witches, indove quela s'annava night there for dinner. In my time, really, if it was not all 'Babble is great that if it makes now. There s'annava co 'burning torches or Below' lenses, because it was dark then dark, p 'divozzione davero and pe' sees the witches. As if it was pe 'Vedella? One was carrying a stick if done at the top hairpin, and was quanno sur place, put er in the chin furcina acquired influence, and so could see in quer 'fine witches passàveno there all the way to Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, and from the slope of spirits. Pe 'scongiuralle enough of holding a scopijo, and a capodajo spighetta cor garofoletto. S’intenne che prima d’uscì’ da casa, de fôra de la porta, ce se metteva la scopa e er barattolo der sale. Accusì si una strega ce voleva entrà’ nu’ lo poteva, si prima che sonasse mezzanotte nun contava tutti li zeppi de la scopa e tutte le vaghe der sale. Cosa che benanche strega, nu’ je poteva ariuscì’; perchè, si se sbajava a contà’ aveva d’arincomincià’ da capo. Pe’ non faccele poi avvicinà pe’ gnente, bastava mettere su la porta de casa du’ scope messe in croce. Come la strega vedeva la croce, er fugge je serviva pe’ companatico! Presempio, chi aveva pavura che la strega j’entrassi home from the hood der path, the springs and put the paddle in pure cross there, or the heart Attura sieve the flour.
a step back. Er day if Mann parish in pija 'a bowl of holy water made recently, because the holy water is stale bona nun, and went home before od'annassene to bed, if there benediveno read them, the door of house and home. Addormisse said before if I double-er, that every word I think you repricava der du 'Vorta: I believe I believe in God the father, God the Father, etc.. And if it was pure accusations de l'antre orazzioni. Nun antra is no such thing as double-er I think pe’ tienè’ lontane le streghe! Ammalappena, poi se faceva ggiorno, er cannone de Castel Sant'Angelo, che aveva incominciato a sparà’ da la viggija, sparava diversi antri cólpi, e allora er Papa, in carozza de gala, accompagnato da li cardinali e dar Senatore de Roma, annava a pontificà’, ossia a dì’ mmessa in de la chiesa. Detta messa, montava su la loggia che dà su la piazza de San Giuvanni Latterano, dava la benedizzione, e poi buttava una manciata de monete d’oro e d’argento. Quanno er giorno de San Giuvanni sorge er sole, s’arza ballando. A tempo mio, er giorno de San Giuvanni, usava de fa’ un pranzo fra li parenti, ossia fra compari e commari pe’ fa’ in modo che si c’era un po’ de ruggine fra de loro s’arifacesse pace co’ ’na bôna magnata de lumache" (G. Zanazzo, Usi, costumi e pregiudizi del popolo di Roma).
.
Ma le "corna" a quei tempi erano una cosa più seria.
.
Quello che già il giorno prima della festa spiccava subito all'occhio erano i tanti banchetti di venditrici di lumache. La tradizione di mangiare le lumache, che hanno gli occhietti su lunghe protuberanze prese dal popolino per "corna", aveva in origine il significato di cancellare i tradimenti e i dissapori, non solo fra moglie e marito, ma con qualunque parente e socio. Insomma, tanti anni fa il significato delle corna era più ampio, e poteva includere dissapori con amici, parenti e vicini di casa. Mangiare le lumache significava eliminare queste "corna" e riconciliarsi col mondo.
Un'altra tradizione della festa di San Giovanni era quella di scoprire chi avrebbero sposato le ragazze da marito. Questa la procedura secondo Zanazzo (Paolo Bordini):
.
Alle ragazze: ecco come trovare il fidanzato nella notte di S.Giovanni.
.
"Aspettate che arivi er giorno de la festa de San Giuvanni. Arivato quer day, you at midday on the dot, pijate a piece of lead, squajatelo sur fire, and then quann'è squajato, throw in a Scudella full of water. Then you will see that quer lead, in der froze it will do, will form a lot of de giôcarèlli all species. Among that you will see there giôcarèlli quarchiduno rissomija that one of them many tools, which one of them on your protennenti addopra in der 'job, then you are certain that this quer very own him, it was one intended to sposavve. You pe 'ccombinazzione however, lead sciorto er in der froze in the water, did nun quer de gnisun joke like this, then that same water pijate, open wide the window, and bbuttatela pe 'road. Er your pretenders first of which will pass them on to that water, er will be lucky or unlucky to marry you " (G. Zanazzo).

Chiasso, turmoil and without binge brakes. Among women and men could all happen ...
.
was great popular participation, the Piazza San Giovanni in Santa Croce in Gerusalemme was all a joyous orgy "(Gregorovius," Walking Roman "). We ate, drank and revel in it as they could, between large flower decorations, music, fireworks fireworks, sweets, dishes of snails, lights. Not only fire, but also the lights, which was decorated with the Appian Way just outside the Porta SanGiovanni.
And you had to make noise with trumpets, horns, tambourines, bells and fireworks (you could buy special clay bells), to ward off witches and impossible for them to take herbs if outlets and caught that night was the raw material for magic potions . Bonfires were lit around which people danced and drank. In this unbridled joy, and knife fights were inevitable.
Then came the custom of bathing on the night of San Giovanni, in the fountain just below the obelisk. But people are exaggerating, and young people did not just throw naked in the fountains. Since 1753 the Church authorities had prohibited, but without results, "any person of either sex, who in that night Veruno dare approach the tanks, the streams, fountains, taking off his trousers and crouch on ' grass, worth three men whipping to be given in public and a fine of 50 crowns, and three for women whipping post in public, and both like each other without any remission. "
But with the excuse of the slope of the Spirits, just outside the door, young people and engaged couples went for the bushes "to kissing or mating. "Under the specious pretext of taking a bath, men and women together, go out of doors, in secluded places, hiding in the bushes or behind hedges, and freely commit indecent exposure ... "(from an edict of the Cardinal Vicar, 1744). But Pope Benedict XIV was wide sleeves, and so answered complaints of the prelates, "Nasca what has to be born: born subject to some other state."
When he circulated in Rome in 1845 the first horse-drawn omnibuses, carriages of our ancestors public buses and trams, in the crowded presses passenger presses, you can imagine when excited by the feast of St. John, young men and women (who were then the majority of the Roman population) are not allowed any freedom from the "dead hand" down. "Among men and women - provides a caption that we found in an old sepia photos - all happening." All the more so, note the reporters malicious, that women folk "for good" in the days of beauty under the wide skirts not wearing underwear. Unlike the prostitutes of luxury. This defect is typical of dark places or crowded, groped women, who gladly accepted the rest, is documented by Belli in more than a sonnet as a common thing even in church and even in the confessional (see the sonnet " L ' Omo wit, December 18, 1832). He was so rooted in the idea that during the night of St. John could do anything that even in 900, a party now gentrified, the chronicles of the talk of the famous gatherings melee omnibus horse that led the people partying in the square of the basilica. In the collective imagination a bit 'morbid that lingered long among the Romans, even the electric tram from the 20s replaced the omnibus was combined with epic erotic business, it is unknown whether real or exaggerated by the memory of the elderly. Sure, there was something very serious if true Italian Stock , to synthesize the party put on the cover of its five main elements: the tenderness of lovers, the facade of the basilica, the kiosks of the snails, the popular band, and, specifically, the omnibus stormed by the crowd. This
, in short, was the great orgy on the night of San Giovanni in Rome of the Popes. But as we all know, these things always end in glory, the party ended at dawn when the Pope after the shooting of the cannon of Castel S. Angelo celebrated the Mass, from the loggia of the basilica and then put money into gold and silver people. With other unavoidable fights for the populace accaparrarsele (Nico Valerio).
