Domine salvam fac Rem Publicam
et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus Te!
Prayer for the Country - Prière pour la Nation - Preghiera per il proprio Paese.

Motet from the ''Messe Solennelle de Sainte Cécile'' by Gounod
Basically it is the verse 10 of the Latin Psalm 19 (Vulgata)
[Domine salvum fac regem
et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te
O Lord, save the king •
and answer us when we call upon you.]
The images show the tragedies of Italy - war, floods, eathquakes - that make us to pray: ''O Lord, save our Repubblic''

elaborato dal salmo 19 v. 10 (latino della Vulgata)
[Domine salvum fac regem
et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te]
Le immagini usate in parte vengono dalla cronaca in parte sono mie. Esse illustrano le tragedie del nostro Paese, quelle per le quali si invoca '' O Signore, salva la nostra Repubblica''.
