Canto dei Sanfedisti (Scott, Sean, & Jesus)

For Episode 16 we were joined by the illustrious Jesus to discuss a folk song from 1799 called Canto dei Sanfedisti. The Sanfedisti were founded by based TradCath Cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo in 1799 to drive French revolutionaries and Jacobins from his home in Naples Italy. The song recounts the retaking of Naples in the name of King Ferdinand I - King of the Two Sicilies. Catholics, Royalists, and Neapolitan stans rejoice, your king has (briefly) returned and the Parthenopean Republic be damned! If that isn't enough to get you to listen in on this episode, we don't know what else will. Sona Carmagnola, Sona li cunziglie: Viva 'o rre cu la famiglia! Viva Napule!
