Footnotes
During the procession of the Real Maestranza, the Captain dresses in black, according to the eighteenth-century tradition with tailcoat and felucca with black feather and tricolor cockade, gold fringe at the belt and sword with golden hilt.
The "Ladate”Are funeral lamentations with a melodic musical system, whose texts in vulgarized Latin vaguely recall medieval lauds, authentic passages of religious poetry. It is a responsorial song in which the soloist's voice alternates with the choir, narrating the passion and death of Christ.
