Fort Diamante sec. xviii (Genoa) sent on May 31, 2016 (20:29) by Andre72. 15 comments, 2042 views.

, 1/500 f/8.0, ISO 200, hand held.

Il 30 aprile 1800 gli austriaci posero l'assedio al forte difeso da circa 250 francesi, il conte di Hohenzollern comandante degli assedianti intimò la resa al comandante Bertrand con le seguenti parole: «Vi intimo, Comandante, di rendere all'istante il vostro Forte, altrimenti tutto è pronto ed io vi prendo d'assalto e vi passo a fil di spada. Potete ancora ottenere una capitolazione onorevole. Davanti a Diamante alle 4 di sera. Conte di Hohenzollern.» La risposta determinata di Bertrand non si fece attendere: «Signor Generale, l'onore, che è il pregio più caro per i veri soldati, proibisce imperiosamente alla brava guarnigione che io comando, di rendere il Forte di cui mi è stato affidato il comando, perché possa acconsentire alla resa per una semplice intimidazione, e mi sta troppo a cuore Signor generale, di meritare la Vostra stima per dichiararvi cha la sola forma e l'impossibilità di difendermi più a lungo, potranno determinarmi a capitolare. Bertrand» #Fortezze #Castelli #Castles

It is truly majestic and fascinating both in architecture and history. In this regard I have now added a note to the photograph bearing an episode of 30 April 1800.
Thanks for the visit
