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.
