Scontro delle Balze di Scavignano, Tommaso Dal Pozzo

Painting by ferdinando bucci, copy of the work "alle balze" by tommaso dal pozzo, which depicts the it:clash at the balze di scavignano, then a border place, on the road leading to it:modigliana, between the territory of the it:pantifical state and that of the it:grand duchy of tuscany. The battle, in which don it:giovanni verità also took part, represents a famous episode of the faenza risorgimento. The faenza native giuseppe masoni reports: "in the summer of 1845, representatives of every center in romagna secretly gathered in senigallia, where they decided that every town in our region would, in a fixed period, rise up and try to take over the government's legacies, thus drawing the attention of all of europe. . Faenza certainly did not remain an idle spectator of the general awakening. Forty of its citizens led by count raffaele pasi, together with another fifty from bagnacavallo led by pietro beltrami and oreste biancoli who were joined by seven russians led by the ardent young domenico pezzi, four from lugo and a few others from castel bolognese and modigliana, ran with arms to the aid of the rebels of the balze". Oil on canvas the work is contained in a gilded wooden frame of cm. 85 high x 117 wide. The work is exhibited at the museum of the risorgimento and the contemporary age inside the it:palazzo laderchi, corso garibaldi, 2it:faenza.
