War WWI Memorial - Trastevere

War Memorial in World War I - Trastevere

(Inglese) War memorial, in the form of a plaque, devoted to the soldiers coming from the borough of Trastevere That Fallen During First World War. The plaque is Placed on the outer wall of Caserma La Marmora (La Marmora barracks) , in San Francesco d'Assisi square. It's next to a plaque devoted to the Bersaglieri (The high-mobility infantry, one of the italian most glorious corps) fallen in the Battle of Sciara-Sciat, during Italo-Turkish War.

The war memorial was posed 24 July 1921 and is an esample of how the style of these monuments evolved in Italy during the Twenties. More martial than a monument like War Memorial WWI of San Giovanni is still far way the strong symbolism used in the following years, after the march on Rome, when National Fascist Party comed to power.

In the plaque center the engraved letters of the inscription, filled in red, a colour typical for "military" plaques in that years.

On both sides a bayonet (recognizable by the asymmetrical dagger guard), on a palm leaf, symbol for the martyrs in christian iconography and symbol of Victory and (consequent) Peace in Ancient Rome and heraldry.

The inscription is crowned with an high-relief that represent a bay leaves garland upright between two italian helmets (Model 16). Under the helmets is hanged a straight ribbon, probably mourning bands.

Above the plaque is carved a flame, a perpetual flame.



Here a translation of the plaque inscription:

I Wake Up And My Knee Hurts

Cipolletti Caesar - Isola Tiberina

(Inglese) Plaque Cipolletti devoted to Caesar, hydraulic engineer that worked in Italy and Argentina between 19th and 20th century. The plaque is placed in Fatebenefratelli square, Tiber isle, on the Fatebenefratelli Hospital new wing. This wing was built in the thirties, after the demolition of a small city block, where was Cipolletti's birhplace.

The plaque was placed in 1948, but seems older. Probably never restored and the engraved letters of the inscription are filled in red, a colour typical for the plaque placed between 1890s and 1930s.

But who was he? Probably the name of Cipolletti is unknown to the great part of citizenry. In the field of technic and engineering honours and plauqes are devoted to inventors and great scientists. The field of ship canal not seems bright for the Glory.

But the name of Cesare Cipolletti maybe is not forgotten in Argentina. There is a city bringing his name: Cipoletti, in north of the Patagonic province of Río Negro, with 75,078 inhabitants (2001 census). Here the municipality website: www.cipolletti.gov.ar .

The first settlement, named Fort Confluencia , was created in 1881 by General Lorenzo Vintter. The city was founded 3 october 1903 and original named Colonia Lucinda . The name was later devoted to Cesare Cipolletti, that in 1898 studied the irrigation system of Alto Valle (High Valley) of Río Negro. A key for developing farming in the region, specially the cultivation of apples and pears.

In the 1880s he also worked for dams and canalization in the Province Mendoza, along Río Tunuyán and Río Mendoza. The Cipolletti most notably work in the area is the Cipolletti dam, inaugurated in the 1890.

So the Cipolleti's realization are quite notable, and the the plaque's inscription sound no retoric for a man that has a dam and a city entitled to him.

Here a translation of the plaque inscription:

(Italian) plaque in memory of Caesar Cipolletti, a hydraulic engineer who worked in Italy and Argentina in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The plaque is located in Piazza Fatebenefratelli, Isola Tiberina, the new wing of the hospital Fatebenefratelli. The wing was built in the '30s was built in the '30s after the demolition of a block, where there was also the birthplace of Cipolletti wing.
The plaque was laid in 1948, but seems older. Probably never restored since then, has filled the letters of the red, a color typical of slabs in between 1890 and the 30s. Who was he? Probably the name of Cipolletti is unknown to most of citizenship. In the field of technical and engineering honors and plaques are devoted to inventors and scientists. The range of channels does not seem to lead to naivigabili Gloria. But the name of
Cipolletti probably is not entirely forgotten in Argentina. Li is a city that bears his name: Cipolletti, northern Patagonia, in the province of Río Negro, with 75,081 inhabitants (census 2001). Here the website of the town: www.cipolletti.gov.ar .
The first settlement, called Fort Confluencia , was created in 1881 by General Lorenzo Vintter. The city was founded on October 3, 1903 and originally called Colonia Lucinda . The name was later dedicated to Caesar Cipolletti, who in 1898 had studied the system of irrigation and canalization of the 'Alta Valle del Río Negro. Irrigation system is crucial to boost agricultural activities in the region, particularly the cultivation of pears and apples. In the previous decade he had worked for dams and sewerage in the Province of Mendoza, along the course of the Río Mendoza and Río Tunuyán. The most important area of \u200b\u200bCipolletti is the dam of the same name, opened in 1890. So works quite significant, making the words of the entry just rhetoric for a man who had a dam named after him and a city.

But the French symbol has two significant additions: the broken chain in his hands, and the star on his cap. And in the iconography of republican France is always red Phrygian cap, so the hat will probably be a star on the Red Star, one of the most significant symbols of socialism.
