1. INTRODUCTION
RAIMONDO Montecuccolo: EVEN THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL HAS ITS IMPORTANCE
The choice of the character whose name a school is never idle. The committee in charge of the operation acts with noble purposes and aims in general the objective of proposing to the students that people have somehow illustrated with the works of their homeland.
characters that still help to keep the name of Pavullo in Italy and around the world are numerous, but, alas, for the most unknown. Our middle school was at the time entitled to the most illustrious sons of Pavullo and Frignano, Raymond Montecuccoli, whose fame in Italy and Europe after more than three centuries after the death has not yet gone out, even in these last times there has been a renewed interest around his business and his works. Raymond was born in the castle of Montecuccolo February 21, 1609, in a hall that still is the most fascinating and practically the only one to have remain intact with a large fireplace and the friezes that adorn. Perhaps it was this Always remember to protect it from degradation in vivo when the rest of the castle fell during the nineteenth century. Jailbird was the son of man 's weapons linked to the ducal court of Modena, and Anna Bigi, polite and cultured Ferrarese noblewoman. The boy stood a few years since Montecuccolo, was soon lost his father, was forced by circumstances to put the retinue of Cardinal d 'Este, whose desire was to initiate the scion Montecuccoli ecclesiastical career. The true calling of Raymond, however, soon appeared in the meeting that he was in Modena with General Rambaldo Collalto, general of the imperial army. The profession of arms that so many of his ancestors had practiced on the fields of Italy and Europe that so fascinated him, put aside the project of the cardinal and his mother, who wanted a courtier at the court of Duke Francesco I, followed the call of the legendary army of imperial Vienna. Enlisted as a soldier is just terrible in the storm of the Thirty Years' War. On those battlefields of the young Montecuccoli built its experience applying with tenacity and commitment to the school of masters such as Tilly, Wallenstein, Gustavus Adolphus, Turenne, working on one and the other front. Then departed from the ranks without taking advantage of the recommendations that might have been his cousin Ernesto, who is also general in the army. One by one with humility and sacrifice went all military posts and thirties was appointed general of the Empire. Among the many battles one in particular is remembered, that fought and won in Hungary on the banks of the river Raab in 1664 against the Turks. A memorable victory for the value of proven strategist from Raymond, is the fact in itself, because the danger turkish was momentarily stopped. Montecuculi continue for a long time to drive the troops of capturing major new successes, and died in 1680. Raymond was a military man as well educated and intelligent writer. He knew and spoke several languages \u200b\u200bsuch as Italian, Latin, German, French and English, an avid reader of books on every subject, it brought with it a number on the battlefield. He was also an earnest and eclectic writer. His work has been published in critical editions in the nineteenth century by Foscolo, are no less great as its plans to battle for the language and style Montecuculi is considered among the most significant writers of the seventeenth century.
Among the more you put the Treaty of war, of military and Aphorisms. He tried his hand still in the works of historical subjects, politics, poetry and narrative. Are still the subject of significant discussion and research topic and thesis. Among the minor works must surely remember the Institution my son Leopold in which, far from educating the child delegate to others, such as tutors to follow the rules.
