Vespro Siciliano (Sicily's Vespers) (Italian)

Japanese: シチリアの晩鐘 - しちりあのばんしょう(英語表記)Vespro Siciliano イタリア語
Vespro Siciliano (Sicily's Vespers) (Italian)

In 1282, the people of Sicily rebelled against the House of Angevin, who had ruled Sicily for 16 years. It is said that on the evening of Holy Monday, March 31, the people of Palermo rebelled in protest against the tyranny of French soldiers at the time of the vespers' bell, and the revolt spread to the whole island, killing many French people. As a result of this revolt, the power of the House of Angevin was wiped out from Sicily, and Pedro III of Aragon took the throne of Sicily instead. At the root of this revolt was the people's rebellion against the oppression of the House of Angevin, but it was also complicated by the schemes of the surviving retainers of the House of Hohenstaufen, who had ruled Sicily until the mid-13th century, and the ambitions of Pedro III. As a result, Sicily and southern Italy, centered on Naples, became separate countries, and the fighting between the two countries continued until 1302. The revolt is the subject of Verdi's opera of the same name (premiered in 1855).

Japanese:

1282年に、16年間シチリアを支配していたアンジュー家に対して島民が起こした反乱。3月31日復活祭の聖月曜日の夕方、晩鐘の鳴る時刻にフランス人兵士の専横に抗議してパレルモの民衆が反乱を起こし、これが全島に拡大して多数のフランス人が殺害されたと伝えられている。この反乱の結果、アンジュー家の勢力はシチリア島から一掃され、かわりにアラゴンのペドロ3世がシチリア王位につくことになった。この反乱の根底にはアンジュー家の圧政に対する民衆の反発があったが、それに13世紀中葉までシチリアを支配していたホーエンシュタウフェン家の遺臣の策謀やペドロ3世の野心などが複雑に絡み合っていた。この結果、シチリアと、ナポリを中心とする南イタリアとは別の国となり、両者の戦いは1302年まで続いた。なお、この反乱に題材をとったベルディの同名のオペラ(1855初演)がある。
