Secondo tale Alfredo Panzini, la frase nacque come didascalia di una vignetta.
Nel 1861 i mazziniani avevano preparato a Torino una dimostrazione; ma il giorno fissato pioveva, e la dimostrazione non si fece.
Il "Pasquino" (una rivista satirica) pubblicò allora una vignetta di Casimiro Teja rappresentante tre mazziniani al riparo della pioggia dirotta e ci mise sotto la legenda: "Governo ladro, piove!". L'espressione divenne poi il motto della rivista.
Oggi l'espressione Piove, governo ladro! continua a essere adoperata come bonaria parodia degli slogan contro il potere costituito, colpevole di tutti i mali possibili e quindi anche di far piovere.
Secondo Marco Sereni l’espressione “piove, governo ladro!”, documentata anche con attestazioni letterarie («L’avevo detto io! Piove, governo ladro!», Antonio Gramsci, GDLI), si ripete comunemente per satireggiare l'abitudine diffusa di dare la colpa di ogni cosa al governo, talora anche come espressione di sfogo polemico.
Alcune ricerche fanno risalire anche l'espressione al fatto che durante la pesatura del mangime per gli animali, nei mercati, potesse piovere e quindi la pioggia, inzuppando gli stessi (come fieno, avena, semola, grano e quant'altro), li appesantisse notevolmente, aumentando quindi l'importo da pagare al momento della pesatura: perciò gli acquirenti usavano questa espressione.
La parola governo deriva, infatti, dall'espressione toscana "governare le bestie" nel significato di accudirle, pulirle e anche nutrirle.
La frase risalirebbe ai tempi del Granducato di Toscana.
Secondo Maurizio Mirtilli, il detto è dovuto al fatto che, in epoca in cui a Roma governava il Papato, dato che la pioggia la inviava il "Buon Dio", il contadino doveva, ad ogni pioggia, versare un contributo allo stato in quanto diretto rappresentante di Dio in terra.
L'origine del detto, in realtà, è molto più antica e se ne può trovare la fonte in Sant'Agostino, nel "Civitati Dei", in cui ad un certo punto l'autore scrive: Pluvia defit, causa Christiani sunt (Non piove, la colpa è dei cristiani).
L'abitudine di attribuire a qualcuno inviso la cattiva amministrazione del tempo atmosferico, quindi, è molto vecchia, e non limitata solo all'Italia.
Tanto per citare un esempio, in Tripolitania, intorno agli anni venti, quando l'impero ottomano aveva destituito il sultano Abdui Hamid, la colpa della siccità di quel paese era attribuita dal popolo ai funzionari turchi che erano andati a governare la Tripolitania stessa, e che erano considerati un vero e proprio ostacolo alla pioggia.
Quella più accreditata e che trova anche riferimenti storici sull’antefatto che ha poi portato al detto,risale al periodo feudale,durante il quale i signori, sempre bisognosi di soldi per le loro feste e furbi come pochi, avevano istituito una tassa da pagare nei periodi in cui cadeva la pioggia, in quanto i contadini raccoglievano l’acqua piovana per utilizzarla.
A quel tempo l’allocuzione venne usata più che in senso metaforico,come vera e propria imprecazione e infatti si deve a questo che il detto originale presenti il “Piove “seguito dalla virgola come constatazione e da “governo ladro” con l’esclamativo usato in senso rafforzativo.
Poi nell’accezione del parlato comune l’esclamativo finale, ha finito per sparire.
Di certo, perché documentata nelle ricerche dialettali, l’espressione “piove, governo ladro”, fu ripresa nell’Appennino ligure che separa il mare dalle valli piemontesi, ma in un periodo storico di molto successivo, quando i trasportatori di merci, e in particolare di sale, dovevano pagare il dazio per il transito sui valichi, e pagavando a peso; i funzionari, per farli passare, aspettavano che piovesse.
Infatti l’acqua bagnava i sacchi e li rendeva più pesanti, e così aumentava la tassa da pagare.
Di nuovo ”Piove, governo ladro”.
Sta di fatto che, di chiunque sia la “colpa”, io ho bisogno di un po’ di sole.
According to this Alfredo Panzini , the phrase originated as a caption of a cartoon.
In 1861 the followers of Mazzini in Turin had prepared a demonstration, but the appointed day it was raining, and the demonstration did not.
The "Pasquino" (a satirical magazine) published a cartoon then Casimiro Teja three representative Mazzini in the shelter of heavy rain and put under the legend: "Government thief, it's raining." The phrase became the motto of the magazine.
Today the term raining, Government thief! continues to be used as a good-natured parody of the slogans against the powers that be, guilty of all possible evils, and therefore also to make it rain.
According to Mark Sereni the expression "it's raining, Government thief!", With claims also documented literature ("I told you so! Rains, government thief!" Antonio Gramsci , GDLI), repeats commonly used to satirize popular to blame the government for everything, sometimes even as an expression of relief controversial.
Some research also trace the expression of the fact that during the weighing of feed for animals in markets, could rain and then rain, drenching them (such as hay, oats, bran, wheat and so on), they appesantisse significantly, thereby increasing the amount to be paid at the time of weighing: so buyers used this expression.
The word government is derived, in fact, Tuscany by the expression "rule of the beasts" in the sense of caring, clean and even feed them.
The phrase dates back to the times of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
According to Maurizio Blueberries , said it is due to the fact that, at a time when Rome ruled the papacy, as the rain sent the "Dear God", the farmer must, for each rain, pour a contribution to the state as direct representative of God on earth.
The origin of that, actually, is much older and you can find the source St. Augustine in the "City of God", where at one point the author writes: Pluvia defit Case sunt Christiani (no rain, the fault of the Christians).
The habit of attributing to someone disliked by the maladministration of the weather, therefore, is very old, and not limited only to Italy.
To cite an example, in Tripoli, the twenties, when the Ottoman Sultan Abdu Hamid was deposed, the blame for the drought in that country was attributed to Turkish officials by the people who went to Tripoli to govern itself, and who were considered a real barrier to rain.
That is also the most reliable and historical references that led to sull'antefatto said, dates back to the feudal period, during which the lords, always in need of money for their parties and smart like few others, had instituted a fee to be paid in periods when the rain was falling, as farmers harvested rainwater for use.
At that time the speech was used more than metaphorically, as a real curse, and this fact must be said that present the original "Rain" followed by a comma as a finding and "rogue government" with the exclamation used in the sense reinforcement.
Then nell'accezione common speech the final exclamation, he ended up disappearing.
Of course, because research documented in dialect, the term "rain, Government thief," was revived in the Ligurian Apennines, which separates the sea from the Piedmont valleys, but in a much later historical period, when the hauliers, and particular salt, had to pay the duty for transit passes, and pagavando weight; officials to let them pass, waiting for rain.
In fact, water soaked the bags and made them heavier, and so increased the fee to be paid.
Again "It's raining, Government thief."
The fact is that, whoever is the "guilt", I need a little 'sunshine.

Today is one week since Aydan was born. Yesterday, I took my daughter Charity to the annual Oyster Run festival in Anacortes so she could capture street photography shots for her high school photography class.
On the way back this tree caught my attention because if the awesome bokeh it created.
I was listening to the new alt-j album hence the song title for the photo.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Sunset on the shores of Crescent Beach in Siesta Key at an area known as "Point-of-Rocks."
Point-of-Rocks is a natural outcropping of flat, smooth beach rock located at the far southern end of Crescent Beach. It can be thought of as a natural boundary between Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach. The rocks begin on the beach and extend out into the water for about 300 feet.
