Monzuno is an Italian comune in the province of Bologna (Emilia-Romagna).
The territory of the commune is located on the western slope of the Savena valley, on the northern ridge of Monte Venere and on the left side of the Setta and Sambro streams.
In the 12th century Monzuno was under the rule of the Marquises of Tuscany. After the Lombard overlords, it passed over to the possession of the Ubaldinis and afterwards was handed over to Matilde di Canossa. It was finally divided among the noble families of the Da Monzuno, Da Montorio and Da Panico.
Under the rule of Matilde of Canossa the Castle was part of the court of Scanello and then ceded to the Church of Pisa. Later it acquired independence under the local lordship that had branched out perhaps from the Ubaldinis. The Da Monzunos won the Da Montorios and sought for help from the church circles, taking sides with the Geremeis (who were Guelphs) against the Lambertazzi (Ghibellines). Anyway, during the crisis they showed the real nature of their political tendencies, lining up with nobles to the detriment of the middle class. The Bolognese on the other hand perfectly knew the political shadiness of the noble house and hence tried to appoint them with offices and posts ensuring to contain their power. Bologna obtained then in 1371 the subjugation of Monzuno and of the Castle of Aligrano. However, as the Ghibellines of Bologna plotted to open the city's door to the Marquis Niccolò II d'Este, Guiduccio da Monzuno took sides in favour of the insurgents and decided to support the Lambertazzis. Bologna replied with resolution and sent infantry and cavalry to occupy the castle. Monzuno became a commissariat at the end of the 15th century, under the rule of Giovanni II Bentivoglio. The district was afterwards handed over in 1514 to the Manzoli family and then to the Dukes of Acquasparta.
And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity, did you see
The way I cowered to authority? You see
And my life, it's a series of compromises, anyway it's a shame
And I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see
Than I had before, than I've presently got
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I've presently got
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I could possibly spend
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I could possibly spend
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
It's more than I can spare
My religion is caged
Safe from progress, purgatory I know
How does this affect me? Emotionally affect me
Will they let me go?
Will they let me go?
Will they let me go?
Equilibrium imbalanced again
I feel no pain
I feel no
I feel no pain
Jabberwocky haunts me, in my memory it's caged
I feel no pain
I feel no
I feel no pain
Jabberwocky haunts me, in my memory it's caged
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
But if you punched me in the stomach, then I'd feel it again
Feel no pain
I feel no
I feel no pain
But if you punched me in the stomach, then I'd feel it again
Life is a compromise anyway
Life is a compromise anyway
Life it's a compromise anyway
Life it's a compromise anyway
It's a sham and I'll accept it all
Life is a compromise anyway
Life is a compromise anyway
Life it's a compromise anyway
Life it's a compromise anyway
And it's a sham and I'll accept it all
And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity, did you see

And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway
It's a sham and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see
