Troiano TROIANI (1882-1963?) - El Rapto

[sgtgrunt0331-3]

"Give Them the Cold Steel Boys, July 3, 1863"

Confederate General Lewis B. Armistead, with his cap on the tip of his sword, leads his men across the stone wall during Pickett’s Charge on the 3rd and final day of the battle of Gettysburg.

Approximately 12,500 Confederate troops, in nine infantry brigades, advanced over open fields for three-quarters of a mile under heavy Union artillery and rifle fire. Although some Confederate troops were able to breach the low stone wall that shielded many of the Union defenders, they could not maintain their hold and were repelled.

While the Union suffered about 1,500 killed and wounded, during the attack, the Confederate casualty rate was over 50%. Total Confederate losses during Pickett's Charge were 6,555, of which at least 1,123 Confederates were killed on the battlefield, 4,019 were wounded, and a good number of the injured were also captured. Confederate prisoner totals are difficult to estimate from their reports; Union reports indicated that 3,750 men were captured.

1781 10 19 Yorktown surrender - Don Troiani

 "the garrison of York will march out to a place to be appointed in front of the posts, at two o'clock precisely, with shouldered arms, colors cased, and drums beating a British or German march. They are then to ground their arms, and return to their encampments, where they will remain until they are dispatched to the places of their destination."

 American tradition has it that the British song played was "The World Turned Upside Down."

"Le Corbusier’s Models of Worldmaking"_ London South Bank University _ 21.03.2023 - 06.04.2023 The School of The Built Environment and Architecture at London South Bank University (#LSBU) hosts an international symposium, reconsidering an exhibition of 150+ models of Le Corbusier’s built and unbuilt projects. The Symposium will take place in: Lecture Theatre A, Keyworth Centre, London South Bank University (#LSBU), Keyworth Street, London SE1 6NG. Thursday 30 March 2023, 17:30'-20:30' Registration link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/le-corbusiers-models-of-worldmaking-tickets-592126023877 The exhibition of models is open to the public from 21 March to 06 April 2023 in the foyer of Keyworth Centre, #LSBU.   Since the early 20th century Le Corbusier’s projects have been unavoidable points of reference in architectural knowledge and practice. Their roles, however, have changed historically from avant-garde and polemic statements of icons of the modernist movement, to stigmatised and politically charged constructions, and, in recent years, to contested grounds for reflections on ethical, socially-aware, and ecologically-just practices. His projects, whether built or unbuilt, operate in the tension between architecture imagined and architecture conceived. This space in-between is precisely the quality that turns them into the driving force for progression and reconsideration of the field of architecture. Their discursive, imaginative, and projective qualities have produced socio-spatial imaginaries and expressible fantasies. The symposium celebrates an exhibition of 156 models of Le Corbusier’s built and unbuilt projects proposed for x countries. It brings together researchers, architects, and scholars to revisit Le Corbusier’s Models of Worldmaking examined through various architectural, pedagogical, and theoretical perspectives. The speakers outline a systematic form of enquiry reflecting on key experimental and methodological applications of Le Corbusier’s work, ones that could be catalysts of change or critical reflection on our radically changing profession. Convened by: Dr. Hamed Khosravi and Prof. Igea Troiani. Guest Speakers: Brigitte Bouvier (Director, Fondation Le Corbusier) Prof. Alan Powers (London School of Architecture) Prof. Tim Benton (Open University) Rene Tan (Director, RT+Q) Layton Reid (Visiting Prof. at University of West London). The event is supported by grant funding provided by #LSBU.

A new depiction of the bombardment of Fort McHenry on September 14, 1814 by historical artist Don Troiani.

Before the attack on Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key, a Georgetown Federalist who had come to Baltimore with a volunteer artillery company, had visited the main British squadron at the mouth of the Patapsco River to secure the release of a civilian prisoner, Dr. William Beanes. The British high command had already decided to release Beanes, but the Americans were not permitted to leave until the assault on Fort McHenry was over. Key paced the deck of his truce ship all night, watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry some eight miles away. The next morning, Key noticed that the British squadron was headed his way. He also saw that the huge garrison flag (measuring 30 by 42 feet) had been run up above the fort. With this he realized that the bombardment had been a failure and that McHenry was still in American hands.

Key was so moved that he wrote a poem entitled “Defence of Fort M’Henry.” The poem was distributed as a broadside, which suggested that it could be sung to a British drinking song, “To Anacreon in Heaven.” The new song, which was later renamed “The Star-Spangled Banner,” appeared in newspapers up and down the coast and ultimately became the national anthem. (“The bombs bursting in air” were the British mortar shells that exploded above the fort, and “the rockets’ red glare” referred to Congreve rockets.)

— Donald R. Hickey, The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict

The original song and lyrics is worth a listen—and absolutely a party song, making it historically correct to get blasted on the 4th of July.

Chapter 1.02 - An Anniversary Celebration 2

King Emeritus Elias II sat at a table with his wife Duchess Caterina Troiani. The couple observed the guests as they moved about the large room.

“Look at the two of them. They are a beautiful couple.” Caterina said. “That they are,” Elias sighed. “That they are. He does his job well, and Helena has always been good at supporting him.” “And they look so in love.” “Yes, they do. I just hope he doesn’t lose himself, that he hasn’t lost himself. Being king will do that. Watcher knows, I know. So many things I did that I regret doing, and words I said, that I can never take back. “ “Love, you can’t live in the past. We only have now.” Caterina said. “I know, I know…”

“Excuse me, you’re highness, Duchess can we get a photo for the public?” “Absolutely not. I have retired. I am here, not as King Emeritus, but as a father celebrating his son. Please respect our privacy.” “Sorry, sir.”

“You didn’t have to be so harsh, Richard.” “One thing that I did not do well was to protect my relationship with Andrea from the public. She did a phenomenal job of protecting our kids, but I let her down on so many occasions. I’m not going to make the same mistakes Cat. You are my love, my partner, my friend, and my wife, and the public is not entitled to know anything more than your name.” “I appreciate that, but do you really want to gain a reputation of the cranky old King that was, hmm?” Caterina asked.

“God it’s sickening how in love Uncle Tony and Auntie H. Look.” Ella plopped down in a chair at her grandparents’ table. “I take it you aren’t enjoying the evening?” Elias said. “I’d enjoy it more if I could get a drink. This party is only a show. Uncle Tony’s real friends aren’t even here! Just some social climbing, power hungry …” “Ella please!” Caterina interrupted her granddaughter. “Pop-Pop, you know what I mean. Mom and dad didn’t even come, and yet here I am.” “You are here because you’re spending the summer with us. You know your parents had to work.” Caterina explained. “We all know that’s just an excuse…Oh look, here comes the royal couple now.”

“What happened to your centerpiece?” Helena asked. “The damn thing was blocking my view so I had it removed.” Elias replied. “Oh, well are you having a good time?” Helena asked. “I’d have more fun if…” “Ella, no one here is going to serve a minor alcohol.” Anthony said. “Uncle Tony…what about …” “Ella, zip-it if you still want to hang out at the royal residence from time to time.” Anthony warned. “No, Ella please, tell me what my son allows at his residence…” “Nothing Pop-pop, Nothing.” Caterina turned to Helena who had sat down during the earlier exchange. “Everything is lovely dear.” “Thank-you. It was a lot of work, but everyone brought everything together nicely.”

Troiano TROIANI (1882-1963?)

[sgtgrunt0331-3]

“Lions of Little Round Top, July 2nd 1863″

Late in the afternoon of July 2, 1863, on a boulder-strewn hillside in southern Pennsylvania, Union Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain dashed headlong into history, leading his 20th Maine Regiment in perhaps the most famous counterattack of the Civil War.

The regiment’s sudden, desperate bayonet charge blunted the Confederate assault on Little Round Top and has been credited with saving Major General George Gordon Meade’s Army of the Potomac, winning the Battle of Gettysburg and setting the South on a long, irreversible path to defeat.

(Painting by Don Troiani)

This Skirmish raid was in December 1814 but the main battle was January 8 1815.

Don Troiani painting depicting a night raid by Andrew Jackson and militia forces against British forces on December 23, 1814 (weeks before the Battle of New Orleans).

The War of 1812 has often been called the “Second American Revolution”, and like the Revolutionary War it also had many elements of a civil war.
