at the time Duchess of Calabria,
paid for my studies.
:19:07
l owe her what l am today,
a church organist
:19:11
honored by the benevolence
of Your Excellency.
:19:18
ln years of strong need, when my
mother presented pleas at court,
:19:24
we always got what we pleaded for.
:19:28
lf all those kings and queens
watch us from up there,
:19:33
what will they think ?
:19:36
That Leonardo Tumeo's son
betrayed them ? No ! No !
:19:41
Excellency... no ! At least,
in heaven they know the truth.
:19:47
Calm down, now !
:19:52
l admire your faithfulness
and devotion.
:19:55
But you must understand
:19:57
that the people were enthusiastic
about Garibaldi's victories.
:20:02
The plebiscite was the only remedy
against anarchy, believe me !
:20:06
To us, this is just
the lesser evil.
:20:10
After all, the Savoy
still represent a monarchy.
:20:16
l know that the interests
of the people you love and admire
:20:21
were frustrated by all this,
but they're still alive.
:20:31
Something had to change,
for everything to remain unchanged.
:20:40
The revolution is over.
:20:42
Let's hope that the new-born ltaly
may live and prosper.
:20:48
Still, l had voted against it !
:20:50
Those asses at the City Hall
eat up my opinion:
:20:53
they chew it and shit it
to their own accord.
:20:57
l said ''black'',
and they made me say ''white''.
