Caldo e fastidi dell’estate nella sonnolenta Roma dei Papi

The heat, a heat of hell, the breath is lacking, the sun slips over the world (the few arcades they built the Piedmont after 1870), the shadow that suddenly becomes a precious resource, unavailable, except in the narrow streets of central neighborhoods, or churches. But even many churches and monasteries, as well as shops and offices, from noon to 3 pm were closed. The Sleeping Beauty "city-church" of the Popes, where the only events were processions, novenas, the new indulgences and sacred representations, did not have to look after a lot of productivity, much less in summer. With the summer heat
Rome became a dead city. The dog days of July and August afternoons scares Pope, the Sacred College, nobles, diplomats, prelates, priests, monks, peasants. The first, which may, under the pretext of the danger of cholera or malaria, fleeing in summer houses, maybe to Castelli. But the latter, which can not be holed up at home, pretending not to be. "A English Steps, if you see someone walking, you or a cat or a Frenchman," is ironic that people reported with taste of Ideville Henry, in his diary diplomatic Roman (edited by G. Artom, Milan 1966).
This was Rome in the days of summer outdoors. A beautiful hell. And in the flames of heat that is raised by the "cobblestone", silence reigned, broken only perhaps by a cat's meow, the flapping of wings of a pigeon, and the gushing of a thousand fountains that delight and refresh all or village square, a wealth that has always made Rome a unique city. A quiet
that in a city accustomed to living away from home can never be total. Thus, a real plague are the noises of young people in the courts, under a fig tree in the shade or on the streets, heedless of the prohibitions of the older, shouting, joking, arguing, playing bowls, ruzzica, morra, and throw stones. And what terrible damage to the nerves, to cause uncontrollable anger, those who want to relax, to shutter down, the "nap". The following sonnet expresses well the angry exasperation of a typical Roman disturbed by the cries and noisy games of arrogant young men in the house.

In an essay titled Afa. Anthology sull'insopportabile hot Roman Luigi Ceccarelli (known as Romania under the pseudonym "Ceccarius") brought together the various synonyms mentioned by the linguists Roman. E 'sultry, but also Bafa, or even callaccia SBAFO , the air muggy oppressive heat stifling and enervating (G. Vaccaro, Vocabulary bellano Roman and Italian-Roman, Rome 1969). Does the Chiappini, so callaccia is the heat, the heat uncomfortable, the heat ( Vocabulary Roman, Rome, 1992). AFA, however, Rome, or rather had, the antidote to "the west wind." A breeze that blows from west to Rome and that is the sea that is raised to sunset refreshing air of the red-hot summer afternoons. And 'one of the climatic characteristics of the city, because of its location between the sea and hill ranges, but the continued pervasiveness of this new development on the coast and the western districts of the city, is gradually altering the configuration of the land, and the "west wind" can not now reach more to the center of the city (F. Ravaro Dictionary Roman, Rome, 2000).
So you want is any kind of breeze or gust of air that in Rome there is even a "dead de 'Twenties" (neighborhood Rule, S. Caterina della Rota). Where, in every season and time of day you should notice sensitive il soffiare dei venti (A Rufini, Dizionario etimologico-storico delle strade, piazze,borghi e vicoli della città di Roma , Roma 1847).
E Ceccarius fa bene a ricordarsi di due versi del grande Zanazzo, il più belliano degli studiosi ed eredi del Belli, tratti da una sua poesia del 16 aprile 1882 (G.Zanazzo, Poesie romanesche , a cura di G.Orioli, Roma 1968), in cui nelle segrete Camere pontificie la spossatezza domina perfino tra Li servitori in anticammera durante er Concistoro delli Cardinali :

Belli, who was shivering and died with a heating pad in hand, dedicated to the hot summer and two sonnets realistic, but curiously written in the middle of winter, on 7 and 8 February. And then, between the rigors of freezing, there must be an evocation of (M. Teodone), if not of an acute desire, technically well-served by the system of notes and variants of "ready rhymes" that could occur in any Year-very organized sonnets

version. The heat. Ugh! AFA of hell! What heat! I did not make the slightest movement, and yet I'm already tired: oh, that apathy! I feel a weakness that I can not even lift his arms. Night and day I have hot flashes on the face, sweating by drops worse than a cow, so that even my shirt sticks to the skin. Um, if this situation lasts it out. Time wasted on me the wind with her fan, drinking water, and splashing in the fountains, it's worse, because then I melt. As for eating, you believe that?, I live with bread. And do not say anything about the hassle of these fleas, flies and mosquitoes.
.
In a crescendo of dramatic emphasis that has pointed vaguely Dante, Belli foreshadows a small "end of World "-style folk legend - also supported by some doctor - that the summer heat would bring even the terrible fevers contagious (the" bad air ", in fact) of which Rome then was infested before the great reforms of the unitary state, a Because of the marshes that surrounded it, unhygienic living conditions and the resulting weakness to infections affecting the population, in total disregard of the Church.

Oh God save us from the feverish heat!

"July 12, 1845. From 6-9 we had a hot and sometimes he did ascend the thermometer above 28 degrees (degrees Reaumur, equal to 35 ° C. Ed). ascended to the 7 degrees 28.6 (equal to 36 ° C, Ed). Since 1842 we did not have such a warm (N. Roncalli, Chronicle Rome 1844-1848, vol I, Rome 1972. And yet, the historian wrote in Gregorovius Logs Roman August 19, 1861: "The extraordinary heat has ruined my work, the results of 44 days are very narrow (Ceccariuis). To us moderns, with the increase in average temperatures the last few decades, seems like a warm normal occurs every summer. However, if he lived today in Rome in the summer Gregorovius write only thanks to the air conditioning!

Another diary. "June 26, 1801: here is since yesterday in a great heat." "July 1, 1801: hot huge." Prince Chigi, who recorded in his diary with obsessive fixation aristocratic any changes in heat and humidity, sought refreshment at the fountain di piazza del Popolo. Ebbene, per assicurarsi che ci fosse un refolo di vento vi immergeva, essendo il dito troppo proletario, la punta del bastone: osservando che una parte si asciugava prima dell’altra si accertava della direzione e dell’esistenza stessa del vento.

E dal caldo veniva il colera, si pensava allora. "26 luglio 1831: oggi è cominciato un triduo nella chiesa dell’Anima con indulgenza per implorare la cessazione del flagello del cholera, che ha penetrato in qualche parte degli stati dell’Imperatore. 6 agosto 1835: oggi è cominciata una divozione di dieci giorni in 16 chiese dedicate alla Madonna, oltre alla chiesa di S Rocco, con indulgenza plenaria per chi v’interverrà 7 volte, ad effect of prayer for the removal of the disease that threatens us. "August 9, 1835 is recognized as inadequate the 16 churches for the indulgence, there are other 8 were increased, the most extensive. At the same time he announced the reduction from seven to 5 times for gaining the (C. Fraser, Diary of Prince Agostino Chigi 1830 to 1855, with an essay on the life of historical sights of the ancient Rome (Toledo 1906).

short, always the usual, the King Papi! Cholera fought not with the medical or hygiene, but images of massive prayers. Triduum and novenas, rather than agricultural pipes. last minute discounts on indulgences, rather than extract quinine. So, you know, sick or healthy, they would all go to hell anyway.
For this, cholera terrorized all, priests, nobles and people. And the concern of Chigi was almost a premonition: his wife died of cholera during the epidemic of 1837, and he died in 1855, probably affected by the same disease (Ceccarius). And that the Roman summer amounted to disease, it also says the terrorist Belli in s. The bad air (June 5, 1845) that today would be furious, the Office of Tourism. And if we think the current Roman Summer, how far the Rome of today epidemics skullcaps!:

So, from mid June to late September emptied Rome of Pope, the Sacred College, prelates, diplomats, aristocrats and wealthy bourgeois, because - other than winter - it was believed that the "malaria" infuriated with cholera and other soft in the middle of summer. All those who could went to the castles and villas of Albano, Castel Gandolfo, Frascati, or swims. Malaria, in the strict sense, then, was typical of the Roman summer, the campaigns being marshy and infested with mosquitoes. No Roman district was exempt, especially in the periphery (Ceccarius).
Therefore, when a people becomes a minimum wealthy, suddenly made a show to "go on holiday," Castles, such as "Sister Irene" in the following sonnet, which is not having a coach there is in private care. "Longings of the holiday," he had called Goldoni, scratching himself the typical petty-bourgeois pretensions of neo-rich:

And the people? The only cool was that he was allowed to go to see the noble carriage 'is refreshed with interesting and spectacular walks on water in a flooded Piazza Navona (where to get wet, however, were only the wheels and the feet of horses). Otherwise a nice slice of watermelon, very rarely an ice cream, sorbets because offered by "walking sorbettari of the Center is expensive. Otherwise, it was industry to avoid the sun acrobatically walking along the "shadow lines" of the palaces. But with a bit of Democratic wins in Paris and London of your dreams, romanissimo because they could enjoy the right to "trap". By long tradition, the great aristocratic buildings with multiple doors were burdened by a singular right of way: anyone who could come in, probably under the watchful gaze of doorkeeper, he could go long, cool corridors, courtyards and gardens, and exit from another door . Even in the largest of all, the tower block papal del Quirinale, the young "cascherino" the baker with the bread to be delivered, the laundress with a basket or child of the people with bare feet, could enter alle Quattro Fontane and out the door of the date, virtually the Trevi Fountain. The Belli himself writes in the sonnet Road cuperta .

M. Bosi you mention in the essay is a privilege lost: the transitions of the gates in "Strenna of the Romans", Rome 1972. So the common people avoid the heat and sun, and "cut" winding paths under the blazing summer sun in the center of Rome. And even though the civic guards and watched the "illustrious Bishop of the streets" in theory, prohibited and punished anything, he could always get a nice foot bath in the thousands of Roman fountains.

A ognuno il suo rischio: il volo, la notte, il cavallo, il maiale!

Thou sought? Then, not even God can do anything about it: Here periculum amat, Peribit in illo. It 's the latinorum dei preti, che sentenzia: chi ama il pericolo, in esso morirà. La morale cattolica è proprio il contrario di quella tipica dei Paesi anglosassoni e protestanti, amanti del rischio. Nel Trattato di Teologia Ascetica e Mistica si spiega infatti: “Dio non soccorre chi volontariamente, senza necessità si mette in pericolo…”
Il Belli si sofferma sul tema del pericolo, della morte e della fatica di vivere del popolo di Roma. Fatica e pericolo dovuti sia a mestieri di per sé a rischio, sia al degrado della città e alle leggi liberticide di uno stato feudale.
Il sonetto per l'incidente mortale allo scozzone (lo scozzone era il cavalcante, servo che accompagnava a cavallo il padrone), e' cronaca dry with a hint of painful fatality ', linked to the danger that looms over the protagonist of "Death for sure, now uncertain," directly related to the difficulty of living in Rome for the first 800.

version. The Scozzone (Cavalcanti). Do you know where 'Arcione St. Nicholas Church (now lost): the intersection with the way the horse slide Chanterelle', turutuffete (expression for the noise of a fall) and he fell heavily. Here's what it means to mount a Sturion (cavalo thin and emaciated), put their lives in the hands of a Cavallaccio: always went away with others just fine, with this and 'went down' like a rag. Rest 'dead instantly, poor Camille! we encounter 'the head of the servants of the Duke of Caserta, who did not hear' do not even a scream. God says: certain death now uncertain: here periculum amat, Peribit in illo (who loves the danger in it perish '): open man on a horse burial (three different sayings).
.
Quest 'final triplet you can' link to many news stories of our time: for example the death of Peter Taricone during a parachute jump, or that the boy almost contemporary Francis of perhaps 13 years practicing on the roof school parkour, a dangerous acrobatic discipline underground.
The first was the epitome of the boy who had made it, become famous after participating in the first edition of Big Brother with his macho attitude, but also by popular philosopher, who had made him loved by the audience of young adolescents. "I feel like a boat that was driven off from the Titanic, the battleship that this is television, and now as I go back to shore?" He said in his first interview given to Curzio Maltese.
perhaps led him to a premature end to its preference for dangerous sports, and 'voluntary victim of delayed opening of the parachute during descent acrobatics, the desire to fully embody the role to Bruce Willis, in short, an excess of confidence in its ability to 'Superman.
The second, the 13 year old boy who had climbed at night with a buddy on the roof of his school, fell from a 'height of 12 meters for a broken skylight. One of the assumptions and 'that he was being venturing in the dark in a kind of sport that involves great skill', reflexes and a good deal 'risk of injury.
It seems that many students, both day and night, go up, or maybe 'rather climbed on top of that school. Some feel the thrill of jumping from one roof to another practicing this " parkour " underground regulation which involves taking out extreme trails with jumps and acrobatic steps. The guys running the video con i loro telefonini e poi li caricano su Youtube.
Cosa ci fa associare questi due tragici avvenimenti? Il desiderio di confrontarsi con il pericolo, da sempre presente nel DNA dell'uomo. Il successo del macho nel senso piu' lato: con le donne, con la carriera e i soldi, sbattuto in faccia alle nuove generazioni dai mass media. La vita troppo monotona della gente comune, il desiderio di emergere comunque, o comunque di emulare chi emerge. La mancanza dei tradizionali pericoli nella vita moderna. Ricordiamo i secoli bui dell' Europa attraversata da guerre che duravano per intere generazioni, la guerra dei cento anni tra Francia e Inghilterra, dal 1337 al 1453, quella dei trenta anni, dal 1618 al 1648 in tutta Europa, che avevano veramente spopolato interi paesi. Per non parlare delle due guerre mondiali del secolo scorso.
Sembra agli psicologi che oggi il surrogato della guerra sia il pericolo fai da te. L' invenzione di bravate come il passeggiare sui tetti dei treni in corsa, lo sdraiarsi sui binari in attesa che passi un treno, possibilmente merci, per evitare le deiezioni dai gabinetti.
Pietro e Francesco sono insomma stati vittime della loro ricerca del rischio. Il rischio esiste nella vita di oggi, ma andarselo a cercare insieme ad amici e colleghi in situazioni, o codificate da una disciplina, come il paracadutismo, o di novissima invenzione come il parkour, e' veramente speciale e di grande attrazione. Ma, abbiamo visto, anche di grandissimo pericolo.

Ma torniamo alla vita nella Rome of the first 800. The danger of losing it was linked to the profession on the dangers of bandits and criminals, with the unpredictable fights that might break out, even today, for petty reasons. And every true Roman citizen was carrying a knife. But even for the simple run the risk of going to the City 'at night, in darkness' complete and total, as the sonnet says:
.

Here's the story with that hellish night I came home from broken heads, (the district of Rome disappeared to build the monument to Vittorio Emanuele II) a sette ore dopo l'avemaria (le ore si contavano a partire dall'avemaria, e percio' variavano con le stagioni, circa la mezzanotte a Gennaio) dove abita Vittoria. Quando proprio al palazzo Doria sto per salire ( il livello del Corso era molto piu' basso a quei tempi e c'erano alcuni gradini) a Santa Maria in Via Lata, scivolo fo una bruttissima caduta e batto la parte posteriore della testa ( dove si credeva fosse la memoria del cervello). Mentre stavo a piangere a terra come una pianta di vite recisa (che dia gocce di linfa) mi passo' accanto una carrozza signorile a lento procedere. Ferma, strillo' al cocchiere un servitore, ma una vocetta che usci' dalla carrozza gli disse: avanti , andiamo, chi muore muore.

Another hazard could exist during violent storms, with many streets of Rome did not have sewers to collect rainwater, which flowed in the "plan", in practice the middle of the road, they could become a real river, with the risk of dragging the river to the victim. Today
such risks make us smile, at least in Rome, while today the hydrogeological takes away entire villages built with too much ease. About
activities' sports, Belli existed at the time of events and popular extreme sports, very dangerous. The horse race
Berbers from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia in il carnevale era un avvenimento paragonabile alla antica, ma ancora attuale, corsa dei tori di Pamplona in Spagna. Specialmente alla fine della corsa, alla "ripresa", potevano avvenire incidenti anche molto gravi con persone travolte dai cavalli, tanto che anche il Belli ne fa cenno, parlando di un noto medico che si andava a posizionare dallo speziale Cesanelli in posizione strategica vicino alla "ripresa", per assistere clienti bisognosi di cure o di trasporto in ospedale, una specie di pronto soccorso fai da te.

Altro sport pericoloso era l'ascensione in mongolfiera. Il primo volo fu dei fratelli Montgolfier nel 1783 a Parigi. I Montgolfier erano fabbricanti di carta e i primi "globi aerostatici" erano per l'appunto di carta, sopra il cui involucro era distesa una rete da pescatori che consentiva una certa resistenza durante il volo. Anche a Roma vi furono alcune ascensioni half 'of' 800. In 1853 Luigi Piana dies of hypoxia (oxygen deficiency) on a fly ball double room in Rome. And another tragedy impressed everyone. Pius IX, who had a reputation among the people of the Evil Eye, had given his father's blessing for a balloon ascension and fell into ruin with the deaths of balloonists, so that the Pope refrained from authorizing, and above all blessing, to other climbs long time.
But there were those who, a man of power of the Church used to living among the luxuries, do not run the risk of walking at night, to cover himself with glory in battle, heroically in getting the ball, let alone mount a horse bizarre . At most it stuffing up a burst of indigestion. A suitable risk to the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, that of death from food excesses. For them the task of living and 'the effort to digest, creeps the caustic Belli, that greed of the clergy, even for food, often dipping the toast in his sonnets tasty. As for the death of the four cardinal Placido Zurla, Vicar of Gregory XVI, "Cardinal camannolese er" that are festive, almost celebratory for the death of a hated figure, seen as the worst expression of greed of the temporal power of the papacy. And to say that the Cardinal Vicar watched on the costumes!

But here's the Busillis, is likely to die (or dies, it is not clear) for the great feast at the table, as shown for believing the Beautiful, or from too much sex with the marquise, or for having to foot the Seven Churches or for all three hardships together?

course, that eating with the Marchioness "thirty times per month "as the domestic drafts, it meant that Mr. Cardinal of the Holy Mother Church in fact lived with Mrs. Marquise. And the Marquis, God rest his soul, far from being vulgarly a cuckold, was perhaps more subtle than a diplomat, able to be absent at the appropriate times, in short, a "husband of the wife of the cardinal" (see Sonnet ).

Commetti un reato? Rifùgiati in Chiesa e nessuno ti toccherà

"Manco giacubbini them," said Card. Bernetti, Secretary of State of Pope Gregory XVI, translated into the language of Belli. "Worse than the communist regimes," said Card. Bertone, Secretary of State of Pope Benedict XVI. Changing the popes and their prime ministers, but not the invective against those who dare to accuse the Church were well judges. The law of retaliation
wants the Church to which invented the Inquisition and the "stringent interrogation" always on the verge of becoming physical and psychological torture, now finds itself badly in the dock. Who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
De Troy as an anti-Bellarmine? Be ', do not exaggerate. The latter, accusing the Holy Office, had wrongly condemned Galileo and Giordano Bruno ("guilty of having seen the Earth go around the Sun," reads ironically plaque next to the famous Villa Medici). Instead, the Belgian prosecutor who investigated the archbishop's hard to even reaching out to Brussels to open a tomb, he wanted to break the silence and coerce Catholic i vescovi a fare i nomi dei tanti religiosi che con la scusa del messaggio cristiano " sinite parvulos venire ad me " (lasciate che i bambini vengano da me) avevano commesso gravi violenze su minori e atti di pedofilia. Chiesa, letteralmente, " refugium peccatorum "?
.
La giustizia in un Paese cattolico ma laico, in cui cioè lo Stato – a differenza dell’Italia – è totalmente separato dalla Chiesa e dalle religioni, e i sacerdoti sono considerati cittadini qualunque, ha finalmente lanciato un "segnale chiaro: la Chiesa non è al di sopra della legge" ( De Morgen , quotidiano fiammingo). E il quotidiano Francophone Le Soir titled: "The religious, a higher caste." "A game which is playing when the Church says that in trying to identify the priests who abused minors, justice is guilty of a double violence?" But perhaps, he adds, "the Vatican prefers the graves of victims."
And speaking of graves uncovered, the Bella will turn in his tomb at the Verano, and most will regain almost like writing satirical verses about the corruption of the Church, like the good old days (which are the seven years from 1830 to 1837) if you do read the newspapers in June 2010 that speak of the Cardinal Secretary of State that gives the "communists", that is - translated into language belliano – dei "giacubbini", ai giudici di Bruxelles che indagano sui reticenti monsignori pedofili, e del cardinale del Pontificio Collegio urbano "de Propaganda Fide", coinvolto in un’oscura vicenda di appalti, mazzette e appartamenti di lusso concessi gratis ai potenti, che per non essere interrogato dai magistrati romani si rifugia sotto la protezione di Santa Madre Chiesa, con la scusa del Concordato. Stiamo tornando al "diritto di asilo" delle chiese, anzi, della Chiesa?
.
Al povero Belli tutta la faccenda sembrerà un déja vu . Lui queste cose le ha già denunciate nei sonetti. A suo modo, ovviamente: coprendosi dietro una presunta "Voice of the People. The immoral moral of the story is: if you want to do what you want, you have to wear a cassock, preferably red. The red, stolen as many other things in pagan Rome, the Church has the power, authority. And by the way, do you remember the cardinal caught incognito in casino , as described by the police line, simply by replacing the zuccotto black with the purple?
short, grumpy and say the Great Misanthrope, "will have you quarche viziaccio annisconne of" any felony in short, the Church (with a capital letter, as indeed in our title) will defend you. Only in those days served, at least one church (with the lower case) or a convent, preferably out of reach. Today even the most difficult to climb the stairs at breakneck speed of the churchyard with the police in hot pursuit. You do everything with the phone: "Hello, Your Eminence?". Everyone will remember the figure of one 'in the Christopher Betrothed . Manzoni said that when the cappuccino was only the wealthy merchant Louis, one day he had the misfortune not to give way in a narrow alley to a noble and arrogant bully. In short, the reporter would say today, "a tragedy originated from petty reasons of practicability." Apostrophe as "vile mechanical!" (Ie, a man of low condition) had to defend himself from his sword. Today the criminals of the steering wheel would resort to the screwdriver. Killed his pet and friend Christopher who had generously interposed, Lodovico in turn killed the squire (see above, the detail of an old engraving of Betrothed : Louis is the swordsman plumed right) . To escape the inevitable unjust justice that would give reason to the noble, took refuge in a nearby Capuchin monastery, where he was led to repent and become monaco.
But, as shown by the judicial reports today, this famous example of "asylum", ie of impunity for criminals not allowed clergy from churches and convents, we must not think that as Fra 'Cristoforo ecclesiasticii sinners in today's black cassock , violet, rosso o bianco, quelli cioè che nella Chiesa già ci sono e quindi non devono ricorrere all'asilo, si pentano allo stesso modo, e anzi diventino migliori. Tutt’altro, sembrano conservare la loro abituale arroganza, e chi con documenti alla mano li accusa si becca l'epiteto di "giacobino", "laicista", "illuminista", "liberale", "relativista", se non ateo o "senza Dio".
E allora su questi tanti furbi potenti per i quali la Chiesa cattolica è connivente e omertosa, con la comoda scusa del "refugium peccatorum", ci va benissimo il sonetto Er rifuggio :
.
ER RIFUGGIO
A le curte: te vòi sbrigà d'Aggnesa
Senza er risico tuo? Be', tu pprocura
D'ammazzalla vicino a quarche chiesa:
Poi scappa drento, e nun avé ppavura.
In zarvo che tu ssei dopo l'impresa,
Freghete del mandato de cattura;
Ché a chi tte facci l'ombra de l'offesa
Una bona scomunnica è ssicura.
Lassa fà: staccheranno la licenza:
Ma ppe la grolia der timor de Dio,
C'è sempre quarche pprete che ce penza..
Tu nun ze' un borzarolo né un giudìo,
Ma un cristiano c'ha perzo la pacenza:
Dunque, tu mena, curri in chiesa, e addio.
Roma, 5 dicembre 1832

version. The refuge. At court: I want to leave without the risk of Agnes in person? Be ', you do so to kill close to a church: then run in and not be afraid. Once rescued after the company, do not worry about the arrest warrant, for to even the shadow of you did a good offense is guaranteed excommunication. Leave it like this: stand out the mandate, but for the glory of the fear of God, there is always some priest who thinks about it. You are neither a jew nor a pickpocket, but a man who has lost his patience, then, you hit, run to the church, and farewell.
.
At the time of the moment, however, that this loophole the Catholic Church offered to offenders responded cynically to a logic class, of which few speak. The nobles who were stained with the murder were asked for asylum in France, but people hardly ever managed to avoid justice. Unless, of course, the offender had not chosen to be even monaco for life. And then, prison jail, the better the cloister.
The absurd and immoral than the privilege of extraterritoriality enjoyed by civil laws for disposal of the Church monasteries and churches was canceled for the first time in Italy from the catholic "Kingdom of Sardinia" (so named because they were the only principles Savoy from Piedmont) with the laws by which the Catholic earl Siccardi abolì nel 1850 il diritto d’asilo, insieme con altri privilegi ecclesiastici. Manzoni, d’Azeglio e i tanti cattolici – veri cattolici – liberali che c’erano allora in Italia, furono contentissimi: la Chiesa doveva ritornare ad essere "morale", a distinguere gli onesti dai disonesti, ad occuparsi solo delle cose spirituali. La città di Torino eresse per gratitudine un obelisco alle leggi Siccardi. Inutile dire che, per aver eliminato le ingiustizie più odiose legate al potere e al Mondo dell’aldiquà, di chi andava dicendo invece - e dice tuttora - di occuparsi solo dell’anima e dell’Aldilà, tutti i politici coinvolti nella legge furono scomunicati dal "papa buono" Pio IX, long thought to be "liberal" by the Liberals uninformed or naive.
In more recent times, only in exceptional cases (anti-dictatorships, civil wars) the right of asylum has been used by the Church to save entire categories of research, often of opposite trends: How the Jews in Rome in the convent of street Sicily. The same convent - Nirenstein F. revealed - where, after the war, many Nazi leaders were housed before FIT Vatican passports and let them flee to Argentina.
However, apart from rare action "humanitarian", sometimes questionable (SS and Nazis), to be sure, the Church was and is a "refugium peccatorum" for many of its popes, cardinals and bishops - and the Belli ce lo dice in quasi ogni sonetto – ma questo lato nero, quasi un B side , della Chiesa cattolica, nonostante tutto è utile. Meno male che la Chiesa c’è: così può esistere questo blog. Un disegno machiavellico della Provvidenza. Se, infatti, si fosse sempre comportata bene, come sta scritto sul Vangelo, il Belli avrebbe scritto al massimo un quinto dei suoi sonetti, o forse non li avrebbe scritti affatto. Grazie proprio alle carognate di papi, cardinali, vescovi, monsignori, preti, frati, monache, sacrestani e chierichetti, l’Arte e la Letteratura hanno opere che si ricordano, dalla pittura, alla satira del Belli. .
Grazie, perciò, Church Catholic, Apostolic and Roman! Thanks to exist! Despite the "asylum" that offer criminals (indeed, Sorry about that, the "sinners") and especially external affairs. This blog owes its existence to you. Without your mistakes great, great your sins, your grand larceny (all in you is great), popes, cardinals, bishops, Monsignor, priests, nuns and monks, magnificently arrogant, stupid, Giuseppe Gioachino Belli would not have written the best his sonnets, and it would be at most a minor author, local, and this site would not exist. While many of your former enemies you have to death, we owe you my life.
E 'why, even, paradoxically, in the end, ti vogliamo bene. Sei stata, sei e sarai sempre – i fatti di oggi lo dimostrano – una miniera inesauribile di spunti felici per la satira e la critica.
Un po’ quello che il Belli diceva del bruttissimo papa Gregorio XVI, monaco dei Camaldolesi, di Belluno e dunque all'epoca cittadino austriaco, che fu per decenni il "suo" papa di riferimento, criticato aspramente in ben 273 sonetti, considerato la causa dell’estendersi del malcostume morale, del dissesto economico, sociale e politico del Regno Pontificio, accusato di aver reso Roma una vera "stalla e chiavica der monno".
.
E Rroma, indove viengheno a ddà ffonno,

(Li the cardinals and prelates, May 27, 1834).
.
[E Rome, where they are to plunder, and deny God, steal and fuck, is stable and the sewer of the world].

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.
3 febbraio 1833
.
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?

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.

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).
