![Argonaut1535's tweet photo. 🇮🇹Italian Warfare of the 15th Century is fascinating! Luca Landucci (1450-1516) was a Florentine citizen and apothecary who kept a diary documenting his observations & daily events during the conflicts between Lorenzo “the Magnificent”Medici of Florence against Pope Sixtus IV and The King of Naples, known as “The War of the Pazzi”.
It’s a fascinating account from the perspective of a middle class citizen & non-soldier! Note how the Florentine citizens chose Lorenzo & Florence, even in defiance of the Pope and more powerful magnates; it is great insight into the mindset of Italian citizens, who valued independence above all.
Here are a few excerpts, beginning in 1478 through 1480
“July 13th – The King of Naples sent a herald to Florence, with the proclamation displayed, stamped with the arms of the king, and he went to the Signoria to declare war, being deputed to tell us that the king and the Holy Father were ready to oblige us in every way, if we sent away Lorenzo de Medici; to which the citizens would not agree; and so war began.”
“July 31st – Our men took much booty in the neighbourhood of Volterra. He who seeks evil, finds it. It was not very intelligent of them [the Sienese] to let themselves be drawn into making in their own territory, for they will suffer two-thirds of the damage, and we the rest; whilst the King of Naples and the Pope, who brought it about, will get off easily.”
“August 1st – The enemy took Lamole, and captured more than 100 persons, and also continued to bombard the Castellina. The rule for our Italian soldiers seems to be this: You pillage there, and we will pillage here; and there is no need for us to approach too close one another. They often let a fort be bombarded for several days, without attempting to succour it. We require to be taught by the northern soldiers how to make war.”
“August 15th –
Messer Niccolo Vitellozzi was going about sacking certain forts of Citta di Castello, and burning men, women, and children, with every sort of cruelty. After that, Messer Lorenzo of Citta di Castello burnt some of our fortresses in the district of Arezzo, and committed atrocities, burning people. They were both cruel men. Such generally come to a bad end. Godly people, as we read in the Holy Scripture, never come to a bad end.”
“December 24th – And at this Christmas-time, what with terror of the war, the plague, and the papal excommunication, the citizens were in sorry plight. They lived in dread, and no one had any heart to work. The poor creatures could not procure any silk or wool, or only very little, so that all classes suffered.”
1479-
“April 12th – There was a skirmish outside Pisa between our Capitano and Signor Roberto, and a good number were slain. And it was said that our Capitano had no wish to vanquish the enemy, and therefore did not do his duty; this was the unanimous opinion of the people.”
April 18th – “At this time Count Carlo came to Florence, and was appointed a Capitano, and two separate camps were formed, he going into the Perugian territory and defeating the papal troops, which departed utterly routed. And after this the ducal forces could have been broken up; but through the fault of our Capitano, the Duke of Ferrara, and through dissensions amongst the citizens, no action was taken, or else the enemy would certainly have been conquered. The Duke of Calabria pitched his camp before Colle. People continually deceive us, and we cannot be victorious, as God punishes us for our sins. [At this time, Luca Landucci and his family leave Florence for his villa at Dicomano, and there are no further entries in the dairy until November].
1480-The End of the War
“January 20th – It seemed doubtful whether the peace would not come to anything.
March 16th – The ratification of the peace arrived in the night, about 7 [3 am]. There were great rejoicings, with bonfires and ringing of bells.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HOzi4pbWEAA3WA8.jpg)
![Argonaut1535's tweet photo. 🏴🇮🇹Dominic Mancini was an Italian diplomat sent to the English court of Richard III in 1483, his mission to gather intelligence for intelligence for the French court.
His report “The Occupation of The English Throne” (this document/primary source is at Oxford, UK.) gives fascinating first hand details of England and its people during The Wars of The Roses-in this passage, he describes the English soldiers of the time:
“The matter in hand prompts me to say a few words about the equipment of the English soldiery. There is hardly any without a helmet, and none without bows and arrows; their bows and arrows are thicker and longer than those used by other nations, just as their bodies are stronger than other peoples’, for they seem to have hands and arms of iron.
The range of their bows is no less than that of our arbalests; there hangs by the side of each a sword no less long than ours, but heavy and thick as well. The sword is always accompanied by an iron shield; it is the particular delight of this race that on holidays their youths should fight up and down the streets clashing on their shields with blunted swords or stout staves in place of swords. When they are older they go out into the fields with bows and arrows, and even the women are not inexperienced at hunting with these weapons.
They do not wear any metal armour on their breast or any other part of the body, except for the better sort who have breastplates and suits of armour. Indeed the common soldiery have more comfortable tunics that reach down below the loins and are stuffed with tow or some other soft material. They say that the softer the tunics the better do they withstand the blows of arrows and swords, and besides that in summer they are lighter and in winter more serviceable than iron. The soldiers who had been sent for arrived [in London] equipped with this sort of armour, and in addition there were horsemen among them.
Not that they are accustomed to fight from horseback, but because they use horses to carry them to the scene of the engagement, so as to arrive fresher and not tired by the fatigue of the journey: therefore they will ride any sort of horse, even pack-horses. On reaching the field of battle the horses are abandoned, they all fight under the same conditions so that no one should retain any hope of fleeing, but enough of this matter.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HOzVjcUWgAAn3YC.jpg)

Virtual reconstruction of the Mycenaean commander Agamemnon around 1200 BC
It���s funny how Achilles has become a rallying cry for based manly men, given that in the original Greek myths he tries to get out of fighting by hiding on the island of Skyros pretending to be a woman. If Nolan attempted to film this, there would be rioting.
La moraleja de todo esto es que las entrevistas deberían ser realizadas íntegramente por gente profesional y bien educada; gente que haya leído mucho y tenga conocimientos más allá de Comunicación.
Los Tiktokers e Influencers han banalizado tanto la apreciación como el diálogo.
Art is that threshold where darkness becomes desirable. The Pre-Raphaelites dressed tragedy in gold. Dark Fantasy embraces the monster. Both prove that beauty is born from vertigo.
Evidentemente en España hay cada vez más inseguridad. Sobre todo porque se está normalizando a esta carroña.
