Chiomonte

On Saturday, February 8 at 09:00 pm at the church of Santa Caterina in Chiomonte presentation of the Cahier number 33 Vauban in the Upper Dora Valley History and protagonists of the last French fortifications of the Dauphiné with Eugenio Garoglio and Massimo Garavelli.

The latest historical research work of the ecomuseum with projects, memories, unpublished drawings and defensive systems reported and presented with the same precision and care with which the intelligent Engineer Vauban drew up military projects for the King of France Louis XIV. The material was kept in the military archives of Vincennes near Paris and finds new light and allows us to reconstruct a scenario of the territory, of the second half of the 1600s, truly unexpected that could have defined another story and designed other places, very different from those we know.
