| Extra Information | The poem was published anonymously in 1799 in the revolutionary journal of the short-lived Parthenopean Republic: Nuovo Monitore Napolitano. The song (with music) was published sometime between 1810 and 1835 in Naples by Girard as part of the series, Canzoncine Nazionali Napoletane e Siciliane. A variant of the tune (stanza 1–4) with guitar accompaniment by Luigi Picchianti (1786–1864) was published around 1835 in Firenze as part of a collection Trentasei ariette nazionali. The initial 4 lines of the poem are found in Felice Romani’s (1788–1865) libretto to a buffo opera staged in Madrid in 1835: I due Figaro by Saverio Mercadante, itself based on the 1792 French play Les deux Figaro by Honoré-Antoine Richaud Martelly (1751–1817). |
