Sergio Foresti - Vivaldi: Orribile lo scempio (Tito Manlio)

Vivaldi: Perfida!... Orribile lo scempio (Tito Manlio). Baritone: Sergio Foresti (Tito Manlio). Modo Antiquo. Conductor: Federico Maria Sardelli. Recorded in 2003. Introduction: In 340 BC Titus Manlius Imperiosus Torquatus (Tito Manlio) was consul of Rome for the 3rd time. He had to deal with a threat of war after he refused a request to participate in the government of Rome to the Latin league, an ancient confederation of villages and tribes in Latium (Lazio). As a reaction, the Latins revolted. In Vivaldi's opera, Tito demands absolute loyalty of both his children. His daughter Vitellia has so far refused, because she is secretly in love with the rebel leader, Geminio. Tito throws a rusty iron chain at her feet as a threat to drag through the streets of Rome to shame her. He then warns that there will be horrible fighting with the Latins as an example to others who might potentially challenge the rule of Rome. Italian: Perfida! A tuo dispetto or lo dirai. Questa ferrea pesante, rugginosa catena, all'alme ree di ribellata fede è principio di pena. Sentila: è ancor leggera per la tua colpa. Lucio, prendila: e, se più tace, alle sue piante fa che sia posta; per le vie di Roma strascinata con essa dalle plebe indiscreta ed oltraggiosa, nudo il virgineo sen, nuda la fronte, sì, la figlia Vitellia abbia fra poco i vilipendi e l'onte. Orribile lo scempio nel sangue si vedrà. E all'altrui cor d'esempio la strage servirà. English: Traitorous girl! In spite of yourself, now you will say it. This heavy rusty iron chain is the beginning of your punishment for your guilty disloyal spirits. Feel it: it is still too light for your crime. Lucio, take her: and, if she remains silent, have them put on her feet; have her dragged through the streets of Rome before the gossiping and insulting people, with her maidenly breast revealed, and her face, yes, my daughter Vitellia will soon experience contempt and shame. Horrible slaughter in blood will be seen. And as an example for other hearts this bloodbath will serve.
