, 1/80 f/9.0, ISO 100, hand held. Roma, Italy.

L'uso di segnare il tempo con un colpo di cannone fu introdotto dal Pontefice Pio IX il 1° dicembre 1847 per avere un segnale unico dell'ora ufficiale, anziché il suono scoordinato delle campane delle chiese cittadine. La tradizione continuò anche con l'unità d'Italia. Il cannone sparò fino all'agosto 1903 dal suo primo posizionamento a Castel S. Angelo, da dove venne spostato sulle pendici di Monte Mario, per poi essere definitivamente trasferito sul Gianicolo, esattamente il 24 gennaio 1904. Nel periodo della 2^ Guerra Mondiale la tradizione fu interrotta per gli eventi bellici. Il 21 aprile 1959, in occasione del 2712° Anniversario della fondazione di Roma, il cannone riprese a segnare il "mezzogiorno" per i cittadini romani. Non si ha notizia del tipo di cannone in uso fino all'agosto 1904. Da quella data fu utilizzato un cannone campale da 75 mm., impiegato dall'Artiglieria del Regno d'Italia per aprire la Breccia di Porta Pia. Successivamente è stato impiegato un obice da 149/13 la cui bocca da fuoco, preda bellica dell'Esercito Austro-Ungarico nella guerra 1915-18, era montata su affusto italiano. Quest'ultimo pezzo, ormai vetusto, in data 1° febbraio 1991 ha sparato il suo ultimo colpo. Attualmente è in uso un obice, risultato di un assemblaggio della bocca da fuoco da 105/22 su affusto di 88/27 impiegati durante il 2° conflitto mondiale. La squadra pezzo che opera quotidianamente sul cannone del Gianicolo è fornita interamente dal reggimento addestrativo del Comando Artiglieria.

It makes quite a bang because on quiet days I can hear it distinctly from home, I guess nearby :-)

Hi Fabio, in fact if you are not used to it you risk taking a very blurry shot. In this case it worked out well with my free hand, but the camera was high above my head.
Greetings.

I admire your shot with a pinch of emotion, because I used to come here with my dad.

The colors and the pdr are very beautiful. Good at catching the puff of cannon smoke. The caption that enriches this excellent photo is interesting. Greetings

Hi Daniele, thank you very much for the passage. A shot taken by chance during a walk on an overcast day. I obviously knew the place since I was a child. PP has taken me a lot of time. I had several solutions, you can see the blaze slightly. The position of the shot was very precarious, behind me I had a fence, on the left two guys sitting on the same one who occasionally wobbled. I held the camera body with my arms raised. After all, it went well for me. I filmed the moments of the exit and re-entry of the cannon, but nothing to do with the burst of the blaze. Even today I have some doubts about the frame of the image.
Thanks for the pass.
