Real Fabbrica d’armi Torre Annunziata
 Nel 1758 Carlo III di Borbone decretò l’istituzione della Fabbrica d’Armi a Torre Annunziata nei pressi della Real Polveriera e divenne la più importante fabbrica per la fornitura militare di armi bianche e da fuoco di tutto il Regno delle Due Sicilie.
L’attività della fabbrica iniziò nel 1761 e di lì a breve venne fondata a Torre anche la Fonderia o Ferriera ubicata nei pressi de castello dei d’Alagno poco distante dal mare. Dalla Real Fabbrica d’Armi di Torre dipendevano gli stabilimenti di Lancusi dove si fabbricavano lame per sciabole e baionette. Gli altri opifici militari come quelli della Mongiana in Calabria, di Poggioreale e la Real Montatura di Napoli erano tutti uniti da una collaborazione produttiva gestita principalmente dalla struttura di Torre. Della qualità produttiva locale fu testimoniata dalla stampa e dai documenti dell’epoca, che annotano sistematicamente modifiche apportate ad alcune armi di origine francesi e belga conferendo ad esse uno stile “napoletano” le cui soluzioni tecniche furono molto apprezzate in tutta Europa.
La testimonianza storica di questa attività è tuttavia oggi attualmente custodita nella Sala d’Armi sita nell’antico edificio della Real Fabbrica d’Armi . Sono circa 70 le armi da fuoco lunghe conservate tra cui pregiati fucili Vetterli, Martin Rumeno, Doersh-Bauwgatten e Mauser 71, oltre a pistole, sciabole, daghe, baionette e pannelli d’indiscusso valore didattico raffiguranti i diversi stadi di lavorazione delle armi e relativi strumenti di lavoro e attrezzi di verifica-funzionalità. La Real Fabbrica d’Armi di Torre Annunziata, che in seguito assunse il nome di “Spolettificio” subì negli anni successivi, varie trasformazioni produttive. Dal 1947 a pochi anni fa si producevano a Torre Annunziata, oltre alle spolette ed artifizi vari, bombe a mano tipo SRCM mod.35 .
Un progressivo ed inarrestabile smantellamento operativo e cognitivo oggi ha ridimensionato e azzerato del tutto l’utilizzo di tale struttura, relegandola ad una semplice officina di recupero e riparazione di mezzi di trasporto militare. Degli “ingegni” tecnologici che ne erano pieni i vetusti locali, manco più l’ombra, il tutto è stato rimosso. Sono rimasti solo i locali dell’antica struttura architettonica, che sperando in una sana politica di recupero, vengano utilizzati, almeno intelligentemente, in Museo permanente degli Ori di Oplonti. Nel pieno dell’emergenza covid, i locali dello stabile furono utilizzati per la produzione delle mascherine.
Da oggi inizia un altro capitolo per la storia di questo importante polo napoletano che persegue l’obiettivo di realizzare un innovativo sistema storico-archeologico-ambientale nel centro storico di Torre Annunziata. L’accordo siglato, infatti, prevede di annettere al Sito archeologico di Oplonti alcune porzioni dello Spolettificio non più utili alle attività amministrative del Ministero della Difesa. Negli edifici dello Stabilimento prenderanno vita nuovi spazi: alcuni destinati ai servizi culturali, una scuola di restauro, ampi depositi per i rinvenimenti archeologici, sale espositive e nuove aree per le attività ricettive e di promozione locale.
Per migliorare la viabilità cittadina, inoltre, saranno incentivati gli interventi di mobilità sostenibile. Nello specifico sarà realizzato un nuovo collegamento pedonale fra il Rione Provolera ed il Rione Murattiano attraverso il sottopasso che taglia longitudinalmente lo stabilimento militare, agevolando il percorso che porta i cittadini verso i diversi edifici scolastici collocati sul territorio.

La vera storia di chi e come diffuse il Presepe nelle case
La vera storia di chi e come diffuse il Presepe nelle case
Premesso subito che – quanto segue – non intende sminuire l’affettuosa tradizione (ed in parte vera) oramai diffusa su chi ha fatto il primo Presepe e su chi l’ha diffuso, resta però importante scandagliare bene la storia specialmente oggi che di materiale ed opportunità ne abbiamo molte, per sapere come andarono davvero certi fatti. Questa ulteriore conoscenza, approfondimento se volete, dovrà e…

Uk: il governo "vieta" a re Carlo di partecipare al summit sul clima. Di cosa ha paura?
Uk: il governo “vieta” a re Carlo di partecipare al summit sul clima. Di cosa ha paura?
La Prima ministra britannica, Liz Truss, ha appena fatto pochissime cose, ma per ora le ha fatte tutte attirandosi forte critiche e facendosi davvero mettere in discussione. Ha dovuto ammettere che l’annuncio del suo piano per la riduzione delle tasse per i più ricchi si è rivelato un disastro per la sterlina e le valutazioni sul futuro dell’economia del Regno Unito già disastrata di suo. Adesso,…

"Bella gerunt alii, tu felix Austria nube!"
Day 6 of @spaus-week 's challenge
"Let others wage war, you, happy Austria, marry!" Was the political strategy of the Habsburgs, and marry did the House of Austria! Infamously, scandalously, sensationally. A mangled wreath of a family tree. We all know this horror story. And we all know the bitter end.
After Emperor Charles V&I divided his Spanish and Austrian inheritance ((also gained through his parents' and grandparents' marriages)) to his descendants and those of his younger brother Ferdinand I respectively, the Habsburg dynasty split into two branches. The Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs notoriously intermarried for generations, right up till Charles II of Spain whose heirless death in 1700 sparked the War of the Spanish Succession. The inbreeding and this informal Latin motto behind it has been blamed to hell and back for their implosion, for the physical ugliness that ran in this royal bloodline. But it is not to say the Habsburgs never went to war, nor that dynastic marriage was a political strategy unique to them! But they were, if anything, bloody successful at it seeing how they did rule half of Europe for 200 years, and then a lot of it in the Austrian line for another 200. Before anyone figured out inbreeding was bad it was considered a privilege to marry into the Habsburgs, with Louis XV claiming that Louis XVI's betrothal to Marie Antoinette was marrying the "Daughter of the Caesars", and Napoleon Bonaparte infamously ditching Josephine for Marie Louise. Charles II was a poor sod who took the fall and the mugs were wretched from the same ugly gene being passed around countless times*, but they did wear power and privilege well.
💅✨ Symbolism bc I'm a NERD and this my Category 10 autism event ✨💅 :
Charles V & Ferdinand I's joint portrait based on that propaganda woodcut, behind them the colours of the Habsburg flag.
The Spanish branch, comprising Charles V & I's descendants, is represented with a black background, and the Austrian branch, comprising Ferdinand I's descendants, gold, both colours pulled from their flag, a dynasty intertwined but split in two.
Round frames denote that the individual had no heirs.
Only the most influential ruler on both sides, the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor, are represented as framed portraits, explaining Archduke Charles II's unframed depiction.
The unconventional placement of Charles II of Spain and Emperor Rudolf II's nameplates are a nod to their queerness: their intersexuality and bisexuality respectively.
Ferdinand III's portrait is lopsided because of the losses of the 30 Years War.
Cracks in Charles II's portrait: 🙃🙃🙃

From one CHAMPION to another CHAMPION: Novak Djokovic's lovely statement about the Princess of Wales:
"It's wonderful to have that kind of support from the royal family."
After a brutal loss, The Daily Express (of course 🙄) came to Novak's press conference just to gather information about Catherine. Nole, being All Around Amazing, handled the question like a true Champion:
Q: What did it mean to have the Princess of Wales here today because obviously it was the first time we've seen her in Wimbledon given she's got this health battle and I just wondered what you said to her and what she said to you because obviously you've spoken so many times in the past...
AAA Novak: Yes it was of course a privilege to be in her presence again and I said to her that it is very nice to see her in good health. She seems to be in good health so that's obviously very positive news for everyone in this country, but also for Wimbledon--- for championships---- to have Her Royal Highness here of course with her family members. It's amazing. It's incredible support that they've been giving over the years to this tournament and I know that she and her sister (PIPPA 🎾) have played tennis for a very long time and so they TRULY respect and admire the game, and they also understand tennis which is great to have. It's wonderful to have that kind of support from the royal family.

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”
-Elena Woodacre, "Leonor of Navarre: The Price of Ambition", Queenship, Gender and Reputation in the Medieval and Early Modern West, 1060-1600 (Edited by Zita Eva Rohr and Lisa Benz)
#historicwomendaily#leonor of navarre#15th century#Navarrese history#my post#I mean...the crime can't be explicitly 'proven' but Leonor DID have the means motive and opportunity; she had the most to gain;#the timing was incredibly convenient for her; and most contemporaries believed she was responsible.#She *did* ultimately act against her brother [Carlos] and sister [Blanca]#Though of course the fact remains that:#1) The final responsibility lies with Juan the Faithless: he was the King; the one in power; and the one who rejected Navarre's succession#Blanca herself - while criticizing Leonor and Gaston - placed the ultimate blame on their father as her 'principal...destructor'#All three siblings were reacting to an unconventional disruption in the system caused by Juan & their actions should be judged accordingly.#2) I am hesitant to believe accusations of 'poison' as a cause of murder given how that was commonly used to slander controversial women#and given how it contributed to the dichotomy of Blanca as a tragic beautiful heroine and Leonor as her scheming ambitious sister#3) Even if Leonor DID commit the crime (imo she was at the very least complicit in it) she is still worthy of a reassessment.#I don't think it's fair for it to define her entire identity#Because it certainly did not define her life - she lived for decades before and would live for decades after#It was on the whole one of the many series of obstacles and challenges she had to face before she succeeded in ascending the throne.#The fact that she died so soon after IS ironic but it is in equal parts tragic. And we don't know what Leonor herself felt about it:#Did she think it was a hollow victory? Or did she feel nothing but satisfaction that she died as the Queen of Navarre? We'll never know.#Whatever the case: given her circumstances the fact that she survived to wear the crown itself was an achievement#It's funny because Woodacre parallels Leonor to Richard III in terms of 'blackened' reputations for 'unproven' (...sure) crimes#(thankfully she admits Richard has been long-rehabilitated; what she doesn't bring herself to admit is that he's now over-glorified)#But I don't think this parallel works at all for the exact reasons she uses to try and reassess Leonor#Namely: Richard was the one in power. He was the King. The ultimate blame for what happened to his nephews was his own.#and moreover: Richard's actions against the Princes DID define his reign and were exactly what provoked opposition to his rule.#Any so-called 'rehabilitation' that doesn't recognize and emphasize this is worthless#also if we want to get specific: the Princes were literal children who did nothing and were deposed in times of peace.#Carlos and Blanca were adults with agency and armies and Leonor's actions against them took place in the middle of a civil war#So ultimately I think Leonor's case is fundamentally very different and I don't think her comparison holds well at all
