Chapter VIII of "The Betrothed" by Alessandro Manzoni find the scene of the failed attempt to surprise the marriage between Renzo and Lucia, devised by Agnes, in home of Don abundance, which screams for 'deception discovered roused the crowd in the village, hurrying enraged, then went home happy. This scene
Manzoni I like to put it in parallel with the one I'm about to tell you, it really happened the night of Molfetta April 16, 1897, when a great Pontiff, Leo XIII, issued his first encyclical on the Holy Spirit: "Divinum illud munus '. It was Good Friday and at that time, prior to the arch Santo Stefano Calò was Master Xavier (1845-1923) who, at that time, he finished composing his new funeral march, "Dolor", in memory of Jaubert wife Elena, who died prematurely on September 7 1880, at age 21, the first birth of his son Sergio.
The march, which will run on Easter Saturday at the exit of the Pieta from the church of the Purgatory, is considered by critics the best of the three (Hamlet, Dolor, Fatality) is the author of the decline, especially for the trio orchestrated with wonderful skilfully. The walk reveals a melodic vein spontaneous, sincere, and highly expressive, reflecting the innate exquisite sensibility of the author.

Well, Father Xavier (as they called him affectionately Molfetta), with a sleight of hand intended to replace the exit of the Dead Christ in the church of Santo Stefano, the traditional funeral march of Maestro Vincenzo Valente (1830-1908), that touches the hearts of all Molfetta, or "U Conzasìegge" with his "pain", fresh composition.
Calo had confided that his intention only to his closest associates, but the news had already leaked out of the sympathizers of the Master Valente who said: "Don Savéreie av'a sciàie to SCOEL de don Vengìenze; \u200b\u200bcur'a Steduto nìendeméiene to a Néple Sen Biete a Maiella, avast Solemare King PRAIM excessive belt jokes Conzasìegge du pe mene back to u all don Savéreie Delòere "(Don Xavier has to go to the school of Don Vincenzo, that none has studied in Naples San Pietro a Maiella, only enough the first five bars of "Conzasiegge" to force to withdraw Don Xavier with all his "pain")
order to mislead the public and have no problems at the exit of the Dead Christ, the Master said to Calò "Dolor" five opening bars almost similar to those of "Conzasìegge.
The new gear, as much appreciated by connoisseurs, not have the desired effect with the people of Molfetta old for their attachment to the marked "Conzasìegge" which areas are suitable perfectly melodic and rhythmic solemn performance of the holders of the Dead Christ . "Amm'a see how the av'a sciàie senéte sténotte" (We will see how he played tonight) said, hinting that they would not allow a coup by the Maestro Calo.
At three o'clock the procession began to slip off with the release of Jesus vegetables. Proponents of Don Vincenzo (Valente) is put on the sides of Parrecchiédde (church of Santo Stefano) threatening the wrath of God if it was not played "U Conzasìegge. For this purpose, "smicciavano" (Pier Paolo Pasolini, as he wrote) all the moves of the decline.
Master Valente from the balcony of the house, then lived in Via Sant'Angelo n.32, wrapped in a large faccelettòene (scarf), the papalàine (skullcap) on his head and foo (pipe) between the teeth, followed closely the unfolding of events.
At check in the feet of Christ faint glow of light around the catafalque, Don Xavier gave orders to the band (Band Garibaldi), directed by the Master at that time Joshua Smith, playing. The first notes, the supporters of Don Vicente became aware of the deception that the riot happened. Suggestions Ossian and burial were raised in the air. Whistles, screams, threats, were launched at Don Xavier: "meggie ttèieche eg, mbéme, ca u Conzasìegge Sené faith, we n 'de vu read burp Cape! Quénd'évvéiere Criste ca nén'zimm worthy of nemené " (Better than you, infamous, if you play the "Conzasìegge" if you do not want to be broken head, as Christ is true that we are not worthy of mention!). In fact, the population of Molfetta old, having understood ahead of time that there would be a coup by the Maestro Calo, armed with sticks, she had brought to the church of Santo.Stefano, thus preventing the further release of the statue Dead wood of Christ, as well as feet. Supporters of Father Xavier, clearly in the minority, replies with an equally colorful language: "vaue faciàiete or worse pagaùre to nesciàune, disgrazziàte! Sapaio cé decèieve Mechéiele pezzarìedde?: ngiu cache in there. " (You do not afraid to take anyone unfortunate! You know what Michael said, "Pizzarello" Who cares!) This man, nicknamed "pezzarìedde, was a peddler who sold on Friday and Holy Saturday the" Pizzarelli (stuffed loaves tuna) on an Annunziata. To attract consumers to its stand, so he shouted: "acchérraiete, acchérraiete from Mechéiele u cu pizzarieddi autumn Ve o funn" (forth, forth, by Michael the "Pizzarello" with the tuna goes to the bottom, that is abundantly filled with tuna ). Sometimes it happened that would take some mocking fun of him crying in his tone: "abbuffàteve, Puerco" (ingozzatevi, ask!). And he, in return, responded angrily to the phrase quoted above (to us ngiu cache!).
The band meanwhile continued to play and the lips of all s'improntarono to the same expression of resentment: "Don Savéreie - they said - nor sciàute de sa cape and at worst can Sté Caul, priòene and Buena" (Don Saverio if n 'has gone to our heads and taking the seat, although prior)
Suddenly a voice arose among the crowd: "Christ or Ind'u facìmme half" (in the Christ or do a barrel!), Followed by a stream of deaths and resurrections resurrections and deaths again and then of ceteris omnibus et. He trained the choir of angels, they are talking about that chorus Pino Donaggio and Dante Alighieri.
The situation was degenerating into a big brawl. The poor Calo, showy too far, did return to the Dead Christ in the church and only when he sang "U Conzasìegge", the statue came back with peace and harmony among all. And as the title of a Shakespearean comedy, written between 1602 and 1603: "All's well that ends well" ("All's Well That Ends Well").
