Un caro amico può (“deve” in quanto tale n.d.r.) permettersi anche un rimprovero con la certezza che sarà ben accolto. Allora la foto è dedicata a Giuseppe (Emmegiù) che in un'occasione ha sottolineato una mia didascalia ritenuta d'eccessiva sintesi e un'altra volta vi ha posto direttamente rimedio in modo impeccabile. Grazie Giuseppe. La torre “Vauban” di Camaret, dove risiedo, fa parte delle opere di fortificazione progettate da chi è ritenuto forse il più grande ingegnere militare della storia (classifica sempre opinabile a partire da Alesia ed un nostro conterraneo). Le sue fortificazioni fanno parte dei “Patrimoni dell'Umanità” di UNESCO ma, ancor più, le sue strategie, quali il “metodo delle parallele” sono state praticate fino alla seconda guerra mondiale. Fra le strategie di Vauban si può segnalare anche il tiro in orizzontale dei cannoni sulle navi nemiche; in pratica veniva annullato uno dei due parametri principali di tiro, ovvero “l'alzo”, sparando in orizzontale con i proiettili che “spiattellavano” sull'acqua fino a colpire il bersaglio (pare fosse molto efficace). La torre cannoniera è posta in posizione riparata e difendibile, prospicente il porto di Camaret, all'imbocco della rade de Brest. Sinceramente spiace celebrare l'ingegno, pure indiscusso, ma dedicato alla guerra, ancorché storia vecchia e ricorrente pensando che 150 anni prima Leonardo trovò consenso e le maggiori fortune proprio applicando il suo genio a macchine e sistemi bellici. Ancora gloria a G.B. Vico. E' di ieri la notizia, diffusa qui in Francia, che, ad evitare contraccolpi indesiderati, le sanzioni economiche nei confronti della Russia saranno ridotte al minimo, mentre all'Ucraina la Comunità Europea fornirà aiuti per 500 milioni di euro (in armi). Minimizzo e dico che sono perplesso ma, con facile profezia, è quanto scrissi quale ipotesi, un mese or sono, a due amici che probabilmente leggeranno anche questa nota. [ Il 18 giugno 1694 si svolse la battaglia di Camaret, un tentativo di sbarco anglo-olandese nel corso della guerra della Grande Alleanza. In quell'occasione l'artiglieria francese, sita presso la torre di Vauban ancora in costruzione e comandata dallo stesso Vauban, respinse l'attacco, e il successo ottenuto valse alla cittadina l'esenzione dall'imposta di focatico* fino alla rivoluzione francese.

Elisabetta , thank you, very happy with your comment and as for :
In short... I would like to see it in person!

.... just get here, and then a dinner, happy symposium with friends, would be gladly offered in addition, of course, to the small tourist indications to better appreciate what nature offers.
Renato , thanks for the ride.
The choice to move is not common and much less simple, I was helped by my wife equally convinced of the idea already originally (now more).
To both of you my most cordial greeting.
Paul

Even more beautiful with the historical setting that enhances its nefarious vocation.
But you know, the human race gives the best of itself, with repercussions of great utility and comfort, when it is motivated by the worst intentions. Congratulations and greetings, Vittorio

You should write a book, if you haven't already. You have the right mix of expertise, fluent sentence construction and invitation to reflection that make a book a good book ;-)

Be right.
In fact, the photo would be little, or postcard, if it did not go to support the story of a little history with some personal reflection. As for the book... you are very generous and in fact, something .....
I sincerely thank you.
A cordial greeting.
Paul
