Il nostro amico e compatriota John Napoli ha commemorato a New York la Battaglia di Bitonto. E' la seconda volta che accade e già si sono raddoppiati i partecipanti all'evento. A John e tutta la comunità di emigranti e figli di emigranti italiani i nostri auguri.
May 25, 2009 marks the 275th anniversary of the Battle of Bitonto (1734). Under the command of General Captain José Carrillo de Albornoz, the Duke of Montemar, the Bourbon forces defeated the Austrian Hapsburgs (who ruled the Kingdom since 1707) on the field of battle near Bitonto in Southern Italy. The conquest and its aftermath (the Treaty of Vienna) won "the most beautiful crown of Italy," the Kingdom of the Two-Sicilies, for Charles of Bourbon (Carlo VII and Carlo V of Naples and Sicily) and ended the War of Polish Succession.
"Long live the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies!"
