| Blessed Pope Pius IX |
Sunday July 3, current year (1892) celebravasi in Paris, in the Chapel of the workers' circles of Montparnasse , a Mass commemorating the centenary of the birth of Pius IX. The immortal panegyric Pope was pronounced by the Rev. Father de Pascal. After the religious ceremony, a banquet was held under the presidency of General de Charette, former lieutenant colonel, commander-in-2. ° glorious regiment of Papal Zouaves, the hero of Castelfidardo of Nerola and Mentone. At dessert, General Baron De Charette Athanasius made the following beautiful speech, greatly admired by all who had the fortune to hear him: "My Reverend Father, ladies and gentlemen and dear comrades:
is a dangerous honor what I do , I asked to speak of the beloved Pope Pius IX, the Great Father who left in our hearts so dear memories.
One of the most eloquent speech he retraced my morning with the most noble and lofty language the broad outlines of that memorable pontificate, and I will here confine myself to personal reminiscences, to easily understand how sincere was the affection he had been able to inspire us all still alive and how our gratitude.
And you, gentlemen, that you have the pleasure to welcome among you, in this Circle of Montparnasse, which already has so many and so glorious years of existence, let me treat you like the Papal Zouaves and getting into an argument without further preamble.
I left Rome in September 1870 and returned there after the death of Pius IX. How
tell you my impressions back in the ancient heritage of St. Peter, waxy Pass, in reviewing Monterotondo, Porta Pia, S. Giovanni in Laterano, S. Lorenzo.
Each of these places reminded me of some made-at-arms, some gloriously fallen comrade, and happy days in any one of those parties that leave the heart in indelible remembrance.
But of all these was the strongest impressions that I felt when passing near the cemetery of St. Lorenzo, where so many people buried in the Catacombs dear.
Pius IX, disdaining the sumptuous tomb of Maria Maggiore, ch'eragli intended, wanted to be buried in those same Catacombs, in the midst of his Zouaves, and to give them a last pledge of love and hope.
My first visit was for S. Peter. It was at night: I walked into a tiny, flickering like those that arise before the Madonna. What shock I felt in the soul, reading the monument to rest all the Popes before receiving their final burial, these words Pius IX Pontifex Maximus! I fell to my knees, prayed and cried. But the Pope did not die and was just time to go to give Leo the unalterable devotion of the Papal Zouaves.
You feel, is not it? Gentlemen, what happened then in my heart all full of the memory of Pius IX, and not showing emotion as I could not go to worship at the feet of his successor.
When all one's heart is devoted to a sovereign as what we today celebrate the centenary, it has the soul invaded by a kind of anguish. I'll try the same feelings for him who now occupies that same train, before whom I bow with love?
But, after being introduced into the room where we were so often been received by Pius IX, when risollevai his head after three genuflections of use, and saw the old man with the white skirt seated on the throne from which I was many times on his knees, including how the Papacy never die, and I offered my person, my heart and my life with the Successor of Pius IX.

never forget Leo XIII in 'act of shaking the heart my only son, or to ask him to make her First Communion.
At the first hearing that I had the right to obtain from Pope Pius IX, he directed us these memorable words: "Go head on, fear not, because it served the law, justice, truth. And we went to jubilant Castelfidardo.
form just one company, when we sent Archbishop De Merode accompanying the Pope during a visit to S. Agnes. Each of us had a medal and a blessing.
You remember, dear comrades, the scope of the Port of Anzio, in April 1862? We had the pleasure of staying for a month with the troops to form a papal honor guard to the Pope, under the command of General Kanzler. Remember the great festival of the distribution of flags?
The flag passed down that day, has seen many battles, and when, 22 September 1870, the regiment was dissolved and repatriated according to the different nationalities, all he brought with him a brandellino as remembering the past and even more so as a token of the future .

not There never was a man most attractive of Pius IX: his heart, even apart from the priestly character, shone with kindness and charity. His physical appearance that enhanced the charm up close or far suffered all those who knew him: majesty unparalleled, born ineffable simplicity, great intelligence, which did not exclude a very fine, great eloquence, very gentle soul, easy shots lively and impetuous character, now corrupted by feelings of goodness gushing from the heart.
I have said that Pius lX had considerable eloquence, but not enough: it was a great orator. He had everything: the forced loan, the gesture, the voice - not to Rome eravene other more beautiful - the touch, the sharpness, the amplitude, the flame. Charmed, subdued, transported the audience. Cardinal Place, who had the honor of being consecrated by Pius IX, from which he was particularly known for a long time and, to tell me, or does not have much as a Protestant minister in Geneva, intelligent and remarkable man, who had spent many years in Italy and in Rome, said a day after a speech by Pope Pius IX in S. Andrea della Valle: I heard the main speakers and preachers of Italy and Rome (the P. Ventura was then at the height of his fame): what Ventura seemed superior to other speakers, as Pius IX is higher than Ventura. "
It could be summed up in one word, he produced the impression at first sight and that was growing from hand to hand that you knew better: it was a great charmer, was fascinated by all those who approached him.

He loved his regiment of boundless love. We had the mandate in 1877 for his feast day - the last, alas! - A silver statuette, representing a Zouave carrying the flag of the Sacred Heart. He said this in a Zouave was happy to have the statue, which he always kept on his desk. "It 's beautiful," he observed, and, turning the eye to the Zouave, said with that smile so good, so pervasive, it is expressive, we all know: "All the Zouaves are beautiful, or at least almost all." The Zouave, who told me this story, then said: "I would not change this uniform with all titles of nobility in the world."
should write books to tell the life of this great and holy Pontiff, but let me finish with the story of the most magnificent spectacle I have ever seen in my life.
was September 19, 1870. Italian troops had completed the investment of the eternal city, and the last act of the drama started in 1859 was about to recite the sacrifice was about to consume. Always faithful to our motto, we were hoping against all hope, we ask God for a miracle! I had received the command to the port of St. Giovanni in Laterano, when I was warned that the Holy Father came to the Scala Santa.
not exaggerating: sembravami that around the front of our August Pontiff shone the halo of saints and martyrs. Everyone was aware that he was about to take any extraordinary. At the last step after being bent to kiss the cross that marks the trail of blood of the Savior, the Holy Father, raising his arms like Moses at the sight of the land of Canaan, he addressed this prayer to the God of hosts

O You, great God, my Saviour, thou that I am the servant of the servants, of which I am you the humble representative, you beg for this precious blood, fell to your Divine Son in these places themselves, and of which I am the chief steward, I beg you, pei torment, torture PEL of your Divine Son, who voluntarily went up this ladder of reproach, to offer a burnt offering before Caesar, before the people who insulted him and for whom going to die upon a cross, infamous, oh! please take pity on your people and your church, your beloved daughter. Hold your anger, your righteous anger. Do not allow hands to come and infamous contaminate your home. Forgive my people, which is yours, which made it red with his blood this blessed land. And if a victim is required, my God! Take your unworthy servant, your unworthy representative!
Mercy, my God! pity, I beg you, whatever happens to me, your holy will be done. "
We all cried. Never again will witness a scene so sublime and heartbreaking at the same time. I waited for the Holy Father at the door, and, having done my line up in battle order, I asked the Pope to bless us ... Women clutched the hands of the people, clinging to her skirt, crying, "Courage, courage Holy Father!"
On 20 September, while we paraded for the last time the San Peter with his heart inflamed with anger and with my grieving, but preserving always a supreme hope, when our last cry of "Viva Pio IX, Pope and King! went to blow at his feet, Pius IX fainted in the arms of his waiters.
Ah! believe me, a word of this man to his death rejoicing!
On behalf of all my comrades, I declare that we are ready to fight and die if necessary, for the Pope-King, to the temporal power, dual symbol of all legitimacy, Locchi did not stop us and do not prevent , for this purpose, our duty as patriots and French. "

Savoy and the Massacre of the South, Antonio Ciano
Al Piemonte did not care nothing for the Unification of Italy. Al Piemonte interested in the conquest of the riches of the South, of its gold reserves, its factories. In support of this statement ... action Cyan opens his book with statistical tables. In 1860, the year of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the Piedmont, the currencies of all the Italian States totaled 668.4 million, of whom 443.2 (66.31% of the total) belonged the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, the Kingdom of Sardinia / Piedmont had only 27.0000000. From the first census of the Kingdom of Italy, held in 1861, it appears that in the provinces of Naples and the Sicilian population employed in industry was 1,595,359, 3,133,261 in agriculture, trade 272,556, while in Piedmont, Liguria and Sardinia ( together) was respectively 376 955 (industry), 1501106 (agriculture), 119,122 units (trade). Naples was the most populous city with 447,065 inhabitants, Turin had a population of 204,715, 194,587 Roma. In International Conference in Paris in 1856 was assigned to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies the third prize in the world, after England and France, for developing industry.
Today - Ciano wrote in his book - we have two Italie, a North and a South, a rich and a poor one. Compared to 1860 the roles were reversed. The North has stolen all the South, which was militarily invaded and colonized. Now it's time for a change. The South needs to get rid of colonialism established by the bourgeoisie of the North needs to get rid of the tax system imposed by the Piedmont in the nineteenth century, it needs the full autonomy to unleash the entrepreneurial imagination of its inhabitants. But the South will have to ask before parting with the North for any damage, which are many.
Ciano's book, written in 1996, still retains its validity and its freshness of invective against the abuses made by the Piedmontese to impose by force the inhabitants of the South a unit is not wanted and not heard.
The 1861 is a year that every South must be remembered, not for the pseudo unity imposed by force, but because that year the House of Savoy began the massacre of defenseless cities against South Cannon, bayonets stuck into the flesh of young priests , peasants, women raped and slaughtered, children and old people killed. Houses and churches looted, destroyed monuments, books burned, schools closed.
The mass shooting was the daily practice. From 1861 to 1871, writes Ciano, a million peasants were shot down, even if the governments of Piedmont massacre did not provide data on this, because nobody had to know.
The robbery was a great revolutionary mass movement, which fought against the invasion of Piedmont. The robbers were partisans defending their homeland, their land, their Bourbon King and the Catholic Church. They had to be destroyed for opposing the colonial ambitions of the Piedmont.
General and officers of Piedmont were war criminals, who practiced mass extermination. The peasants had to be shot, not imprison it was fitting, because, if in jail, the State should support them.
The South is paying more tears and blood. Last King Francis II, from February 14, 1861 Gaeta, said: "The North will not leave even to southern eyes to weep."
In 1861 the South was invaded by the troops of Piedmont, and today, although in different ways, it continues to be invaded. Ciano writes: "Once the general ladyfingers shot our farmers today, massacred our minds with television stations, whose owners are liberals Masons yesterday. Nothing has changed. "
E 'time - writes Cyan - to say enough and to summon all the sensitive southern and proud of it. It 's time to compact, re-evaluate our history, to process the invasion of Piedmont of 1860-61, to prosecute those who shot, jailed, deported a million farmers in South labeling them robbers.
more bitter the defeat was the false story told by the House of Savoy hired, Lucio Barone writes in the preface of the book. Everything that belonged to the Piedmont was glorified and all that was being held up to public contempt Bourbon.
Inspiring and prompter of Italian politics of those years was the English Freemasonry, which had as its goal creating a new world order that no longer allows the presence of the Catholic Church. For Italy, this task was assigned to the House of Savoy and Piedmont. Masonry, in fact, belonged to the so-called fathers of the country that gave birth to the so-called unification of Italy: Giuseppe Mazzini, Camillo Benso di Cavour, Giuseppe Garibaldi.
"North Thief" is the title of the chapter that introduces the survey of large industrial works in the South before unification with Piedmont.
Campania in 1860 was the most industrialized region of the world. The Royal University of Technology and Mechanical Factory Pietrarsa, with its thousands of skilled workers, was the pride and joy of Naples, there were produced with advanced technology, trains and locomotives. In the Real Castelnuovo operated foundry with 500 workers at the Royal Manufactory of Torre Annunziata weapons with 500 workers at the shipyard Castellamare with 2,000 workers.
A Mongiana in Calabria were present Ferriere, with 1,500 workers and plants in tubs and Pazzano, four blast furnaces produced 21,000 tons of pig iron. Also in Calabria, in the engineering plant of Cardinal, 200 skilled workers produce 2,000 tons of iron.
Other centers had sprung up in steel and mechanical Fuscaldo (Calabria), Picinisco (Terra di Lavoro), Picciano (Abruzzo), Atripalda (Avellino). In Puglia, Lecce, Foggia, Spinazzola, there were factories producing agricultural machinery.
But in almost every country in the South were born small factories that formed the nucleus economy of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Of particular importance were the industries for the processing of hides and the production of colors, pasta food, ceramics, glass, crystal, caps, acid, wax, coral, precious metals, pottery, soaps, furniture, musical instruments.
1860 - Cyan writes - the northern slaughtered the South today, there's nothing left to slay, pay those who have never paid, pay the North has always stolen. The South has paid an enormous price because the unit: one million dead, including executed, imprisoned, gone mad, deported 20 million migrants, whose remittances have been depleted from the North, all the savings of Southern robbed by North.
And pennivendoli regime continue to write the history books lying, hoping to continue to put a veil on human intelligence, of wanting to continue to hide the misery of the North, the massacres perpetrated by the invading Piedmont, the arrogance of the liberal Freemasons past and present, and especially want to make us forget that the South was rich and that the North was filthy.
The central part of the book is devoted to the description of the massacre in the Piedmont and Casalduni Pontelandolfo countries, both countries now in the province of Benevento, about 5 km distant from each other. In 1861 the former had 5,000 inhabitants and the second 3000, and today the number of inhabitants In either country has halved.

How are noted in a diary and commented on the tragic events that led to the August 1861 destruction of the two countries.
To understand the spirit in the Piedmont had come in the South, just read the contents of a b. .. went to a captain of riflemen had put up in Piedmont in the streets of a country. Here it is: "1) Anyone who will be staying or robbers will be shot. 2) Any person who will sign to tolerate or encourage the smallest attempt to reaction will be shot. 3) Any person who is encountered in the streets or internal campaigns for higher commissions to their dietary needs, or for unjustified use of firearms ammunition, will be shot. 4) Anyone having news of the movements of the bands will not be attentive to inform the undersigned, will be treated as such nanutengolo or shot. " The Piedmontese were to impose their social behavior with guns.
And the southerners opposed. They preferred the patch to the new owner of Piedmont, preferring the hardships, sacrifices, death.
Pontelandolfo, Casalduni, Campolattaro rose, blew up the signs again hoisted the flags of Savoy and Bourbon. In those hot days of August, the South was almost free from the Piedmont game. Savoy troops were regularly beaten by robbers-partisan. The southern peoples - writes Cyan - have always been civil, they have never invaded others' territories and have become beasts when they saw their women and undermined their freedom. General Cialdini
Piedmont, Naples, gave precise orders to crush any hint of blood or ferment of rebellion. A company, composed of forty riflemen and four policemen, was sent to restore order in Piedmont Pontelandolfo. Even the inexperience of their commander arms were all shot. In a summary trial were convicted for having invaded a peaceful reign without a declaration of war and have shot thousands of peasants and young draft evaders Piedmont. It was 22.30 on 11 August 1861.
Reprisals Piedmont snapped angrily. A Piedmontese general declared: "For every soldier killed shall die one hundred peasants. " The first column of Piedmont, made up of 900 riflemen, headed Pontelandolfo, another column, consisting of 400 men, headed Casalduni. It was the dawn of August 14, 1861. And the slaughter began.
shot against old men, women and children, caught in their sleep. Set fire to every house. The country became a huge stake. Killings, rapes, gunshots, screams, shouts, and looting. The massacre lasted all day.
He never knew how many were the deaths of Pontelandolfo of Casalduni and other neighboring countries. Were certainly thousands.
And so did the unification of Italy Piedmont. Rocco
