LIVING CERIGNOLA: THE MILITARY ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE BATTLE OF CERIGNOLA ARRIVES ON "POPULAR ARCHAEOLOGY USA" CERIGNOLA (FG) - The Battle of Cerignola on April 28, 1503, returns to the center of international debate. The prestigious American magazine Popular Archaeology has dedicated an extensive in-depth article to the battle that changed European military history: the first in which over 1,000 Spanish arquebusiers under Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, sheltered behind a trench reinforced with vineyard posts, stopped the charge of the elite heavy cavalry of the Duke of Nemours. A trench that, in fact, rendered cavalry obsolete and inaugurated the era of infantry armed with fire, determining control of the Mediterranean for the next 160 years. The article highlights the decades-long microhistorical research work of the Torre Alemanna Study and Research Center in Cerignola led by Dr. Matteo Stuppiello: from the letter of Consalvo de Cordoba to the Kings of Spain (April 29, 1503), to the graffiti of 1503 in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, to the land registries of the State Archive of Naples that explain the agrarian origin of that trench. A battlefield still lacking a map and protection, but scientifically rediscoverable thanks to technologies such as LiDAR ISPRA, magnetometry, and ground-penetrating radar. An important recognition for Cerignola, for the Tavoliere, and for all historical research in Puglia, which today deserves a systematic project for the archaeology of battlefields. (translated)

VIVERE CERIGNOLA: THE MILITARY ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE BATTLE OF CERIGNOLA FEATURED IN “POPULAR ARCHAEOLOGY USA” SOURCE: https://www.viverecerignola.it/2026/10/27/larcheologia-militare-della-battaglia-di-cerignola-riscoperta-da-popular-archeology-usa/194456/?utm_medium=Link&utm_campaign=Facebook&utm_source=Social __________________________________________________________________ CERIGNOLA (FG) - The Battle of Cerignola of 28 April 1503 has returned to the centre of the international debate. The prestigious American journal Popular Archeology has devoted an extensive in-depth analysis to the battle that changed the course of European military history: the first in which more than 1,000 Spanish arquebusiers under Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, entrenched behind a ditch reinforced with vine stakes, halted the charge of the élite of the French heavy cavalry led by the Duke of Nemours. A ditch that, in effect, rendered cavalry obsolete and inaugurated the era of infantry armed with firearms, determining control of the Mediterranean for the subsequent 160 years. The article highlights the decades-long micro-historical research undertaken by the Centro Studi e Ricerche Torre Alemanna of Cerignola, led by Dr Matteo Stuppiello: from Consalvo da Cordova’s letter to the Catholic Monarchs of Spain (29 April 1503), to the 1503 graffito in the Church of S. Maria delle Grazie, to the land registers of the State Archive of Naples which explain the agrarian origin of that trench. A battlefield still without a map and without legal protection, yet scientifically recoverable through technologies such as ISPRA LiDAR, magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar. An important recognition for Cerignola, for the Tavoliere and for all Apulian historical research, which today deserves a systematic battlefield archaeology project.

Marco M.M. dedicated his post mainly to the very young, asserting that today more importance is placed on the image one projects than on who one actually is. He wrote that happiness seems to require visible proofs, such as photographs, travels, and milestones to show off, and that this mentality has fueled competition even in conversations and personal relationships. According to Marco M.M., the desire to appear better can make it more difficult to listen, change one’s mind, apologize, and acknowledge others' merits. He observed that ambition and the desire for self-improvement are not a problem, but they become one when there is a need for others to fall behind or for constant validation of one’s worth. He urged people to ask themselves whether the goals they pursue are truly desired or are simply a way to avoid feeling inferior, and he indicated that listening, humility, and respect for others are more important qualities than exhibited success. #autenticità #crescita #relazioni (translated)
