Alberto Piccinini, from Il Manifesto online
"Fellow citizens, partisan brother / let's keep the hands in these sad days." Umberto Eco wrote that for the dead Reggio Emilia is the only song who can stay, "to drag force, on par with the" Marseillaise. " Beginning with the term, "citizen" ("Aux armes, citoyens). «Back to Reggio Emilia back down in Sicily / companions are dead at the hands of fascists." Fausto Amodei composite for the deaths of Reggio Emilia in 1960 at age 25. It was part of the Turin group Cantacronache, the cradle of Italian song committed. Well-educated musically, he was madly in love with Brel and Brassens. wore the robes of the author "strange" to Kurt Weill and Hans Eisler to sing the news of dell'eccidio Reggio Emilia . She chose a theme in the minor, without the modulations cabaret he loved, inspired by the paintings of tuneful moments of an exhibition by Mussorgsky.
"Again, as in the past over the whole of Italy / whistling wind storm rages." They say the news on the evening of July 6, 1960, 300 workers Officine Reggiane stopped to demonstrate in front of the Monument to the Fallen of Reggio , singing protest songs. It was here that the police loaded weapons in hand, leaving five killed on the ground. The oldest of them, Tondelli Afro, Serri Marino, Emidio Reverberi, were partisans, and for that song not only draws a line of continuity between old and new supporters, but shows maniera teatrale, brechtiana, la piccola folla che canta prima di essere attaccata dalla polizia. «Uguale è la canzone che abbiamo da cantare» - è il terzo ritornello - Scarpe rotte eppur bisogna alzare». Come un gioco di scatole cinesi Per i morti di Reggio Emilia è perciò una canzone che ne contiene molte altre. Fischia il vento, Bandiera rossa, persino l'Inno di Garibaldi del 1858, che cominciava così: «Si scopron le tombe, si levano i morti/ i martiri nostri son tutti risorti». «A 19 anni è morto Ovidio Franchi/ per quelli che son stanchi o sono ancora incerti» Uno dei motti dei Cantacronache recitava così: «Evadere dall'evasione». Contro le Sanremo songs, music, cuisine. Amodei breeding in July 1960 that the jolt of the first generation of post-twenties Resistance, the weary and uncertain, tempted by the seductions of the economic boom. An air of boredom and resignation that the same Amodei had just photographed a wonderful song: Something to wait some Sundays it rains set in with the workers and their girls "in the cinema and dance," then played by Roger Whittaker.
"Lauro Farioli died to atone for wrong / to those who have already forgotten Duccio Galimberti / Son died in their twenties to our future / old son died as partisans." Lauro Farioli's nickname was "Modugno" for vague resemblance to the singer, the most popular face of the new Italian music. About twenty years of age, for Cantacronache Italo Calvino wrote Crossing the Bridge, an elegiac song about the resistance that began: "We had over twenty years and the bridge over the bridge is in enemy hands, the other vedevam shore life ...». "Marina Serra died, died Afro Tondelli ...». The list of the five deaths Reggio Emilia , as if we read the stele of the War Memorial where the action takes place, is incomplete for reasons metric. The name of Emidio Reverberi can be heard only in the final stanza (and you Marino Serri, Reverberi and Farioli ...), which leads to the last chorus: dead Reggio Emilia out of the pit / all of us to sing with a red flag. In the original version of the song was interpreted by Amodei single author, with little guitar arpeggio and to quirks Brassens. It was the Stormy Six and Canzoniere delle Lame, more than ten years later, we receive the militant version in which the chorus is sung in chorus. Fausto Amodei, as is right, he left her for dead Reggio Emilia tradition, continuing to write songs against the (neo) fascism and the Resistance forgotten. One was a parody of "Song of the fascist Arditi, and was entitled If you do not know them (1972). Curioso che la stessa melodia fosse già stata scelta nel 1960 per raccontare le giornate genovesi delle magliette a strisce in piazza contro il governo Tambroni. «E piazza de Ferrari in un attimo fu presa - recitavano quelle strofette - fascisti e celerini chiedevano la resa/ Poi poi poi ci chiamavano teddy boys». Una voce, forse solo una suggestione, sostiene che le avesse composte nientemeno che Fabrizio De Andrè. Un altro innamorato di Brassens, come Fausto Amodei.
