3年前の同じ日にドーベルマンとここにいたのを思い出す。イタリア解放記念日となる4月25日に、ここで彼らと共にファシズムとの戦いに勝ったことを祝福し、まだ生き残るパルチザンのひとりとも出会ったものだ。あの時は、右派のベルルスコーニが首相で、まともな政治家のスピーチがあったかどうかも覚えてはいないんだが、すでに前回の選挙で彼は敗北。バンダ・バソッティのライヴではおなじみの、「ベルルスコーニ、お前はクソだ!」というオーディエンスの歌が功を奏したのかどうか、現在はちょいとリベラルな政権となっているらしい... が、イタリアの政治の世界なんぞ、全くわからない。が、政権が変わったことも理由だろうか、今回ここのステージで演説をしたのは、文化財省の大臣で、旧共産党、現在は左翼民主党のジョヴァンナ・メランドリ女史。当然ながら、イタリア語は全然理解できないんだが、わずかに聞き取れる反ファシズムやセレブレーションという言葉にこの日の重要性を理解することができる。
が、なによりもこの日の意味をわからせてくれたのは最初に登場したシスコ(元モデナ・シティ・ランブラーズ)というフォーク系のグループとバンダ・バソッティ。彼らが歌った名曲「ベラ・チャオ」に「歌」の力を思い知らされることになる。かつて反安保闘争が高まっていた時、今よりも遙かに日本人の政治意識が高かった時代、新宿あたりのうたごえ喫茶でも定番だったのがこの曲だ。面白のは、数百万人の命を犠牲に手にした憲法が危機に瀕している時代に、日本でもこの曲が再び脚光を浴び始めていること。3年前のこの日、このステージに立ったドーベルマンが『キュー・デター』というアルバムでこの曲を取り上げているし、最近ライヴで頻繁にこの曲を歌うようになったソウル・フラワー・ユニオンも、7曲いり(!)の新しいシングル『ラヴィエベル~人生は素晴らしい!』に、そのライヴ・ヴァージョンを加えている。辺野古の海に自衛隊が乗り出し、再び「沖縄が日本軍にやられる」という悪夢が頭をかすめる時代に、この曲が歌われはじめた意味は大きいのではないだろうか。
