Selin maonarque, l'Italie pacifique,
Regnes vnis Roy chrestien du monde:
Mourant voudra coucher en terre belsique
Apres pyrates auoir chassе de l'onde.
Selin' monarch, Italy peaceful,
The reigns united by the Christian King of the World:
Dying he will want to lie in Blois soil,
After having chased the pirates from the sea.
The 1 line. For several centuries, Italy was divided into parts, which were owned at different times by Spain, France, Austria, Prussia, etc. Only in 1861 Italy united. Its first monarch, according to the will of the people, was Victor Emmanuel II (1820-1878). Prior to unification, he was king of the Sardinian Kingdom (Piedmont) from 1849. He made great efforts to unite the country.
The 2 line. At the beginning of the XIX century, the Apennine peninsula was divided into 8 states. Thanks to successful military operations against Austria in 1860 Victor Emmanuel annexed the duchies of Modena, Tuscany, Parma to Sardinia. A significant contribution to the unification of Italy was made by the Prime minister of Sardinia, Camillo Cavour, as well as the famous freedom fighter Giuseppe Garibaldi. In 1859 he could to raise the people under his banners and free Sicily and Naples from the French. These lands also came under the authority of Victor Emmanuel. As a result of the peace treaty in 1862 France transmit Venice to Italy. Rome for 9 more years remained in the state of the pope. Only in 1871 he became the capital of a united Italy. In the history of Italy, this king entered as a great fighter for the unification of the country.
Linkage with other quatrains: 5.44, 8.31.
Probable decoding of number 4.77. If 7 consider as 700 then 700-74=626, flip 6 in 9, 9-1=8; by swapping 26 in 62 we will get 862 – the year liberation of Italy from the last invaders.
Quatrain 8.31 Accession of Venice
Premier grand fruict le Prince de Pesquiere:
Mais puis viendra bien & cruel malin,
Dedans Venise perdra sa gloire fiere,
Et mis ? mal par plus ioyue Celin.
The first great fruit of the prince of Perchiera,
then will come a cruel and wicked man.
In Venice he will lose his proud glory,
and is led into evil by then younger Selin.
During the reunification of Italy, described in the interpretation of quatrain 4.77, Venice was joined in 1866. In the previous quatrain Nostradamus calls Victor Immanuel II as Selin the monarch of a united Italy. In this quatrain the prophet also calls him Selin. Venice became part of his kingdom. Prior to joining, Venice was under the rule of Austria, but was fighting it. In 1848 the Venetian Republic was created, which lasted a year.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.77.
Decoding of the number 8.31. If 8 +1=9 and to consider 9 as 900, 900-31=869, flip 9 in 6, then get 866 – the year of joining Venice.
Quatrain 6.38 The conquest of Italy
Aux profligez de paix les ennemis,
Apres auoir l'Italie supperee:
Noir sanguinaire, rouge sera commis,
Feu, sang verser, eau de sang coloree.
The enemies of peace to the profligates,
After having conquered Italy:
The bloodthirsty black one, red, will be exposed,
Fire, blood shed, water colored by blood.
Perhaps this is a prophecy about the unification of Italy. The revolutionary movement in the south of the country was headed by Giuseppe Garibaldi – the red one. He and his militiamen wore red shirts. Black is Camillo Cavour – the first prime minister of Italy. In all portraits he is dressed in a black suit. This is not the first quatrain, where Nostradamus correctly indicated the color of the clothes. Cavour was the head of the government of Sardinia and played an important political role in the unification of the peninsula. The struggle for a united Italy was accompanied by rebellions, fires, bloody battles. It ended in 1971, when Rome became the capital.
Linkage with other quatrains: 4.77, 5.44, 8.31.
Decoding of the number 6.38. If 6 to flip in 9, 900-83=817, swap 17 in 71, 1 to put in front, then we get 1871 – the year, when Rome became capital of Italy.
Quatrain 5.22 Pope Gregory XVI
Auant qu'a Rome grand ait rendu l'ame,
Effrayeur grande ? l'armee estrangere:
Par escadrons l'embusche pres de Parme,
Puis les deux rouges ensemble feront chere.
Before the great one has given up the ghost at Rome,
Great terror for the foreign army:
The ambush by squadrons near Parma,
Then the two red ones will celebrate together.
The 1 line, perhaps, about Pope Gregory XVI (1765-1846). He became a pope in 1831. The period of his papacy coincided with the revolutionary movement in Italy, which sought to overthrow the old order. The revolution also reached the papal region. It was clear that without external help the pope can not protect his possessions.
The third line is probably about the revolutionary unrest in the Parma region in 1846, 1848, which were suppressed by the Austrian troops. In 1847 Maria-Louise the ruler of Parma died. She was replaced by Charles II.
After the death of Gregory XVI in 1846 was elected Pope Pius IX. His liberal reforms were received with great optimism by the Italian patriots. Mazzini, also from exile, applauded the reforms of Pius IX.
The 4 line can be interpreted as celebrated together. Two reds – one can assume Garibaldi, who wore a red shirt. Perhaps, it mean the pope or the cardinals, who also wore red clothes.
Decoding of the number 5.22. 500-22 = 478, 8 is put at the ahead, 847-1=846 – the year of change pope.
