FIRST COMMUNAL
COUNCIL

To March of 1862 the first Communal Council was
elect. It turned out compound, like for law, of twenty councilmen, with
obligation of renews periodical of fifth of the members. In the first sitting of
28 March the baron came elect mayor don Peter Brancati and six city council
members members the committee. The new Administration, hardly entered in loads,
was called to two forts engages: the usury of the mediators and butchers and the
application of the custom offices. In that spring the monetazione in Liras was
introduced and cent and had to be instructd the citizens. Ducato was worth f:
4,25.
The fight to brigandage assumed costs elevates you to the point that, in the
single month of August, was Liras expenses 1052 and hundredth 72, pars to ducati
247 and grain seventy. In spite of the critical situation the communal
councilmen did not find better than to exasperate the political fight and
personal disputes. Of it it achieved the issolution of the council in the spring
of the 1863 and nomination of Extraordinary elegato Regio. Who read the
consiliari reports of the sitting of the time, would discover the Acampora
Party, the Coccia Party and via of continuation. Also the population was been
involved some. Nevertheless how much was necessary an unit of attempts for the
good of the country! Several the barons of Agerola, for the defense of their
interests, were continuously in fight and enslaved the dividend mass easy. They
possessed the two most powerful crews for the safeguard of the own ones
privileges: the wealth and the instruction. Today they are you leave yourself to
divide, because they continuously change garment, because they make demagogy and
they try to pull from their part several the ranks of the society, with every
arm.
So that the distrust in the institutions grows and comes compromise the
relationship between people and politics. How many contradictions in these times
and how many in that agerolese historical period! With the difference that then
imperversava brigandage and the Common one were in economic ristrettezza, now
the common one have a reassuring budget, the public order is supervised and many
problems have been resolved. In that moment the impending necessities were all
important. It was necessary to take care itself of the school without resources
and little attended, and therefore of the diffused illiteracy, onerose expenses
for the maintenance of the troop and the police officers of room in country, of
the defense of the public health, the reorganization of the unjust distribution
of the fiscal cargo, the inadequacy of the roads of communication between the
fractions and the outside.
In the same period it is born Siblings of Italy…
We must to the city of Genoa the Song of the
Italians, best known like Hymn of Mameli. Written in the student autumn of the
1847 from the then 20 years and patriot Goffredo Mameli, music little after to
Turin from an other genovese, Michele Novaro, the Song of the Italians born in
that climate of patriotic fervor that already
to introduce to the war against Austria. The
immediacy of the backs and the sudden start of the melodia made some the most
loved song of the unification, not only during the risorgimental season, but
also in the decades succeeded to you. Not to case Giuseppe Verdi, in its Hymn
of the Nations of 1862, it entrusted just to the Song of the Italians - and
not to the Real March - the task to symbolize our Native land, placing it beside
God Save the Queen and to the Marseillaise. He was nearly natural, therefore,
than 12 October 1946 the Hymn of Mameli became the hymn national of the Italian
Republic.
