47 years. This tiny serenade ......

C 'era una volta che per innamorato a conquistar del cuore aspettava the ragazza lo scoccar della Mezzanotte poi sotto andava the window of the beloved and performed a beautiful serenade. ...

Once upon a time, but there's more: how can we do today with supercondomini and heavy metal music, techno and hardcore! Impossible for young people to create an atmosphere of "Luna Caprese," "Eyes of a girl" or "The sky in a room" ... ..

Then, you just have to tell me these memorable serenade from the last characters who had the good fortune to live them. These are the Assumption, and her beloved, romantic serenades daughters has made a lot because it was sung, could play, and most importantly, he wanted to mark the "territory" to know Dulcinea whether or not to accept his court.

There was a specific rite? As these concerts took place and what impact they had at home families?

The serenade was used to make it clear to the chosen girl who was going to build anything serious with her and at the same time, it was also a commitment to "public" taken in respect of the family.

Although the court was coded to ancient times in the land of the Assumption, in the '60s, it almost always arose in the bar. Young people (men only), in fact, we gathered after dinner to play cards and, aided by some good glass of wine, which put just the joy, began to play and sing and ended, inevitably, to talk about women.

"Jupiter, today I saw you you were doing with the cascamorto Assumption. You like guagliuncella eh? ". "Why do not we give him a beautiful serenade? ', Launched one. And so, sometimes jokingly and sometimes with good reason it formed a small group of friends, a band we would say now, with the inevitable accordion, and was under the balcony of nice to play at least three songs. Were generally chosen by the Neapolitan repertoire. But there were singing the latest hits for example, Gianni Morandi, Adriano Celentano, Fausto Leali, Mina, Edoardo Vianello and Massimo Ranieri.

For these serenades were two stages: the first was when the girl had not yet formalized the relationship and could also be completely unaware of the boy's amorous desire. In that case, listened to his room without turning on the light or open the shutters. If you liked it or not, he would understand all'innamorato the next day, with a look (smiling or hard), meeting him on the street. While the singers-musicians could threaten to get a bucket of water on the head by the girl's parents, who did not like the suitor, or by neighbors, who did not like the noise. The second, however, was when the two were already engaged and were married. There serenade was a must. Must present the sound of midnight in the balcony of his beloved that after the duet or quartet (depended on the number of singers and musicians) on the light and if you looked out onto the balcony, he accepted the court! If the shutters remained closed meant that she had begun badly for the future husband.

And the neighborhood, how to take these noises?

Even if you listened to the more melodic songs, be awakened in the middle of the night was a real threat to the unwary. But, fortunately, they were serenaded their season, the summer, where, however, you roll late at night. It says that the Assumption close, the next day, we congratulate you were saying how good the singers and musicians. In short, all the neighbors appreciated the serenity that brings fun, which allowed the elderly to take a dip into their past and that created a pleasant diversion in an environment where nothing ever happens again.
