Description

Genova 1746-1748 presenta un quadro storico completo sull'assedio di Genova ad opera dell'armate combinate imperiale e piemontese durante la Guerra di Successione Austriaca. L'attenzione è rivolta agli eventi, ai protagonisti dell'assedio e alle fortificazioni urbane di Genova, ma soprattutto allo studio delle fortificazioni campali realizzate sia dagli assedianti sia dai difensori lungo le alture che circondano la città. Si tratta della prima rassegna completa di tali manufatti, frutto di numerosi anni di ricognizioni svolte estensivamente sul territorio da parte dell'autore del volume e illustrata con quasi trecento tra foto, mappe, disegni e modelli. Il volume testimonia ancora una volta la funzione fondamentale, che accanto allo studio storico tradizionale l'Archeologia Militare svolge per ricostruire i contesti e l'aspetto dell'ambiente in cui si svolsero gli eventi storici, dando loro una collocazione reale sui territori attuali.   Genova 1746-1748 presents a complete historical picture of the siege of Genoa by the combined Imperial and Piedmontese armies during the War of the Austrian Succession. There is particular focus on the events, key characters of the siege and urban fortifications of Genoa, but above all it studies the field fortifications built by both the besiegers and defenders along the hills surrounding the city. This is the first comprehensive review of these artifacts, which is the result of many years of extensive surveys carried out on the territory by the author. Included are nearly three hundred photos, maps, drawings and models. The volume confirms the fundamental function that military archaeology plays alongside traditional historical study to reconstruct the contexts and appearance of the environment in which the historical events occurred, giving them a real location in the current territories.
