When 1 soldier, Pietro Micca, blocked the entire Frog "Army" in 1706. Tribute to an Hero (karma: 4)  en>fr fr>en

Pietro Micca (March 6, 1677 - August 30, 1706) was a Piedmontese soldier who became a national hero for his sacrifice in the defence of Turin (1706) against the French troops.
Micca was born at Sagliano (Piedmont). His mother was Anna Martinazzo, of Riabella. Little is known about his years before the siege of Turin.

During the siege, a party of the besiegers had succeeded in penetrating by surprise into the tunnels of the fortress on the night of August 29-30, and would undoubtedly have captured it had not Micca, a soldier in the engineers, fired a mine, with the result that he and the attackers were blown into the air and the rest of the force then driven back with heavy losses.

Micca's heroism has been the subject of poems, plays and romances. But, according to Count Giuseppe Solaro della Margherita, the commander of the Turin garrison at the time, it was through a miscalculation of the pace of the fuse, and not by deliberate intent, that he sacrificed his life.

A museum in Turin, devoted to the battle, is dedicated to Pietro Micca.

1706. During this battle, the French tried to remove the moors (arabs) from Italy, they fortunately succeded a few days later, but most of the arab pool gene was already in italian girls...

I had always thought that "sacrifice" was involving a deliberate will of giving one's life.
Are you redefining that word?

Pietro Micca (Sagliano Micca, 6 marzo 1677 – Torino, 30 agosto 1706) è stato un militare italiano.

Arruolato come soldato-minatore nell'esercito del Regno sabaudo, è storicamente ricordato per l'episodio di eroismo nel quale perse la vita e che consentì alla città di Torino di resistere all'assedio del 1706 da parte delle truppe francesi.

Poco si sa sulla sua persona prima del gesto, tranne che proveniva da famiglia modesta. Nella sua città natale, Sagliano (piccolo centro della bassa Valle Cervo unita all'antica Andorno Cacciorna - oggi Andorno Micca - divenuto in seguito Sagliano Micca) esiste ancora la semplice casa nella quale abitava, situata all'interno di uno dei tipici cortili del Piemonte. Un museo a lui intitolato, dedicato al suo gesto e al memorabile assedio, si trova a Torino.

Nella notte tra il 29 e il 30 agosto 1706 - in pieno assedio di Torino da parte dell'esercito francese - forze nemiche entrarono in una delle gallerie sotterranee della Cittadella, uccidendo le sentinelle e cercando di sfondare una delle porte che conducevano all'interno. Pietro Micca - conosciuto con il soprannome di Passepartout - era di guardia ad una di queste porte insieme ad un commilitone.

I due soldati sentirono dei colpi di arma da fuoco e capirono che non avrebbero resistito a lungo: decisero così di far scoppiare della polvere da sparo (un barilotto da 20 chili posto in un anfratto della galleria chiamata "capitale alta") allo scopo di provocare il crollo della galleria e non consentire il passaggio alle truppe nemiche.

Non potendo utilizzare una miccia lunga perché avrebbe impiegato troppo tempo per far esplodere le polveri, Micca decise di impiegare una miccia corta, conscio del rischio che avrebbe corso. Istintivamente, quindi, allontanò il compagno (con una frase che sarebbe diventata storica: «Alzati, vai e salvati, che sei più lungo di una giornata senza pane»[1]) e senza esitare diede fuoco alle polveri, cercando poi di mettersi in salvo correndo lungo la scala che portava al cunicolo sottostante.

Il corpo di Pietro Micca fu ritrovato senza vita a quaranta passi di distanza, dove fu ucciso dalle esalazioni velenose dell'esplosione. L'ubicazione della scala su cui avvenne l'eroico gesto si è avuta soltanto nel 1958 grazie alle ricerche del capitano Guido Amoretti, appassionato archeologo e studioso di storia patria. A lui si deve l'ideazione del Museo Pietro Micca e dell'assedio di Torino del 1706.

Secondo il conte Giuseppe Maria Solaro della Margherita, all'epoca comandante della guarnigione di Torino, il sacrificio della sua vita è da addebitarsi più ad un errore di calcolo della lunghezza della miccia che ad una deliberata volontà di sacrificare la propria vita.

Come ricompensa per il sacrificio di Pietro Micca il duca Vittorio Amedeo II assegnò alla vedova, Maria Pasqual Bonino (sposata il 29 ottobre 1704), un vitalizio di due pani al giorno. La coppia aveva anche un figlio, Giacomo (stesso nome del padre di Pietro), di appena 11 mesi.

Or if you prefer in Piedmontese and you ask Sarvan to translate it..

Pero Mica (Pietro Micca an italian) a l'era nassù a Sajan ai 6 ëd mars dël 1677 e a l'é mòrt a Turin ai 30 d'agost dël 1706.

Anrolasse coma soldà-mineur ant l'armada dël Ducà Sabàud, a l'é arcordà përchè con sò eroism a l'ha permettù a la sità'd Turin ëd resiste a l'assedi fransèis dël 1706.

Sota la mira stòrica a son nen tante le neuve ch'i l'oma'd chiel prima'd sò gest coragios.
A l'era nàit ant na famija modesta a Sajan (cit pais ant la Val Serv davsin a Andorn, al di d'ancheuj ciamà, an italian, Sagliano Micca) e a esist ancora la sempia ca andoa a l'ha vivù, butà drinta na cort tipica dle ca piemontèise.
A Turin ël musé ch'a porta sò nòm e a l'é dedicà a sò gest e a col assedi stòrich as trova a doi pass d'andoa Pero Mica a l'é sacrificasse.

Ant la neuit tra ël 29 e ël 30 d'agost dël 1706, quand Turin già da vàire sman-e a l'era assedià da j Fransèis, un cit grup ëd soldà nemis a son intrà ant un-a dle galarìe sot tèra dla Sitadela, an massand le sentinele che a l'ero 'd vardia e a l'han sërcà 'd s-ciapé un-a dle pòrte ch'a mnavo andrinta la Sitadela. Pero Mica, ciamà da tuti ij sò cambrada "Passepartout", as trovava davzin a cola pòrta ansema a un cambrada e, dasse da ment dël perìcol, a l'ha decidù 'd fé s-ciopé la póer che pròpi an prevëddend na situassion parèj a l'era stàita butà davzin a cola pòrta.

An podend nen dovré na mecia tròp longa përchè parèj a l'avrìa permettù a j soldà fransèis d'intré ant la galarìa prima dlë s-ciòp, a l'ha pijà la decision ëd dovrene un-a pì curta an savend che parèj soe possibilità 'd salvesse a calavo. An col moment ëd tension a l'ha dit a sò cambrada cola famosa frase: "Auss-te ch'it ses pì long ëd na giornà sensa pan" e sensa gnun-a esitassion a l'ha anviscà la póer e, aussase, a l'ha sërcà 'd salvesse an caland giù da la scala che a mnava a la galarìa anferiora. Ël còrp ëd Pero Mica a l'han trovalo a vàire méter ëd distansa da la scala, andoa a l'é stàit anvelenà dai gas sforgà da lë s-ciòp.
Coma arcompensa për cost sacrifissi ël duca Vitòrio Medeo II a l'ha dàit a la vidoa 'd Pero Mica, Maria Pasqual Bonino, ch'a l'avìa marià Pero ai 29 d'otóber dël 1704, un vitalissi 'd doi pan al di. La cobia a l'avìa un fieul d'11 mèis.

La posission ëd la scala andoa a-i é staje costa assion d'eroism a l'é savusse mach dël 1958 grassie a jë sfòrs e a le arserche ëd Guido Amoretti.
