Angelo Agazzani has found and renovated with harmonization by the timbre and rhythm militaristic this chant of the Napoleonic era, where popular tradition has set its own interpretation of the historical facts of the great Corsican. No heroic epic that changed the history of Europe, but merely a misfortune for the poor farmers, forced by conscription, forced to abandon their lands and go to die for incomprehensible causes. So that the history of Napoleon is ironically condensed into a few bars and its fall is celebrated by throwing their rifles into the fire and throwing their hats in the air, in the hope that the war is gone forever.
