Je was op zoek naar: mortaretti (Engels - Frans)

les cloches ébranlaient l’air depuis dix minutes, la procession sortait de l’église, les mortaretti se firent entendre.
the bells had been making the air throb for ten minutes, the procession was coming out of the church, the mortaretti started to bang.

fabrice tourna la tête et reconnut cette petite esplanade garnie d’un parapet et dominant le lac, où si souvent, dans sa jeunesse, il s’était exposé à voir les mortaretti lui partir entre les jambes, ce qui faisait que le matin des jours de fête sa mère voulait le voir auprès d’elle.
fabrizio turned his head and recognised that little terrace, adorned with a parapet and overlooking the lake, where so often, when he was a boy, he had risked his life to watch the mortaretti go off between his legs, with the result that on the mornings of public holidays his mother liked to see him by her side.
