Italian names in Bo Rhap

I'm a fan from Japan. Anybody please tell me if those names Scaramouch, Gallileo Figaro and Beelzebub have any historical meanings or any literature background. And what is Fandango? How about Magnifico?

Scaramouch-A stock character in commedia dell'arte and pantomime, depicted as a boastful coward or buffoon.

Beelzebub- The Lord of The Flies. The Devil. Satan. Evil Incarnate.

Galileo-Genius Italian dude, dropped 2 cannonballs from the Pisa tower

Figaro-An adroit and unscrupulous intriguer.

Fandango-An animated Spanish or Spanish-American dance in triple time

Magnifico- Magnificent, splendid in appearance; grand

Magnifico - Magnificant in spanish

Thank you friends. But I wonder if these names are familiar to Europeans/Americans. Yes, of corse I know Gallileo, the famous astoronomer.(but I didn't think this Gallileo was him)

GALILEO.

you forget
"mamma mia"
:)

ah yes...and now the answer to that one and only all time great trivia question...coming up....

Q) which UK number1 single had a title that was a key lyric from the song it succeeded at the top of the charts?

A) Mamma-mia (Abba) jan 76, succeeded Bohemian Rhapsody Nov 75-Jan 76

i think freddie sings "galileo "cause galileo was perseguitated for his idea against the church,the pope. i think there is alink with omosexuality.
if you listen to boh rap,i think it speaks bout omosexuality.i am not kidding you.
in the first verse there's a man who says to be sorry to his mother."just killed a man" imh it means i 've killed the man i was and now i am like a woman cause i love men.
in the ooperatic section we are in hell.there is process against the man who says "let me go".the church has always cndamned gys people and in the song he sings "belzebu has a devil put aside for me"

Yeah, sure.
Not as if they only were mock-operatic exclamations...

Figaro (as in Mozart's Figaro's Wedding) is a barber, by the way...

sorry for bad english.i forgot to say that,obviously,it's just my shitty interpretation of the song.it may fit,anyway

As an italian I always felt proud that my all time favourite song,Bohemian Rhapsody,has italian names in it!Freddie's Masterpiece!

Gabriel,

It fits like a cock in Germaine Greer!

Thank you Gabliel. I was just talking to my friend who is another fan of Queen. He said this song might be something to do with homosexuality. I said no way then, because as long as I know he was straight till he broke up with Mary Austin in 80. But your translation is very interesting and perhaps right. I read somewhere that Bri commented this song is Freddie himself to an interview. So???

I think it's actually "jizz people" the church condemns (aka "omosexuals".)
