Israel is not a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has not accepted IAEA safeguards on some of its principle nuclear activities. The lack of clarity surrounding an Israeli nuclear weapons program is a key obstacle to establishing a weapons of mass destruction free zone in the Middle East.

A rapid political revolution followed, wars of succession, murder and usurpation, dismemberment of the empire, and rise of petty chiefs to independence everywhere, most of them ephemeral, but others containing the germs of a future worthier existence. Into this disintegrating world entered the Europeans, no longer the merchants that they had been for a century and more in the past, but as warriors and arbiters of India's political destiny. Although the first mercenaries in Indian armies were 1active from the beginning of the seventeenth century, the last half of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century was the golden age for these Europeans. Violence between different Indian successor states was at its peak, with Sikh, Maratha, French, British and numerous other armies engaged in one or more conflicts. The mercenaries came from more than fifteen European countries, even from United States, also differed from each other in terms of their socio-economic position in these home countries. While some, like Benoît de Boigne, George Thomas, Jean-François Allard, Jean-Baptiste Ventura, Catello Filose, Reinhardt “le Sombre” and Paolo Avitabile rose to be famous army commanders, of whom heroic stories were written, most of the mercenaries did not rise to be such celebrities in Europe. The Italian Paolo Solaroli is a separate case: almost unknown among the European mercenaries in India, except for a marriage with the extraordinarily rich descendant of the famous “le Sombre”, he rose to be a celebrity once he returned home during the Risorgimento wars.

Storia conosciuta, ma i cui risvolti più compiegati sono ancora terra di discussione o sepolti in quei cimiteri di comodo in cui la nostra società sotterra con funerali di Stato verità imbarazzanti. Nell’am-biente indiscreto, privato e intimo dei saloni di un castello medioevale capace di resistere ai duchi di Savoia fino al 1426, le firme sul suo Libro degli Ospiti rappresentano una traccia intermittente di quella storia più minuta sovente sottaciuta, un mondo complesso di simboli e di riti, un viag-gio tra il 1921 e il 1991 graffiante e non usuale nella nostra memoria. Tra le firme degli Ospiti, donne e uomini semplici spettatori coinvolti dalla propria posizione nella società del tempo o co-attori consapevoli della condizione storica, scorre un passato vicino dove si intrecciano episodi opachi della nostra storia contemporanea, tra Tedeschi prima alle-ati e poi nemici, Case Regnanti in fuga, Resistenza, Ordini più o meno sacri e più o meno profani, Malta e Massoneria, Vaticano e Servizi Segreti. Uno spazio silenzioso che ha de-terminato cinquanta anni di assetti politici dell’Italia post-bellica, implicando scelte, fatti e interrelazioni non sempre percepibili se slegati dal contesto del behind the scene inter-nazionale. Trame ancora avvolte in ambiguità volute e “di-stinguo” storico-etimologici, che hanno lasciato senza volto molte controparti di un passato appena passato, come l’omicidio di Mozart, il suicidio-delitto di Mayerling, l’atten-tato di Sarajevo e di un presente che era ieri, come la strana sepoltura di Evita Perón, l’uccisione di Che Guevara, la dop-pia vita di John F. Kennedy e la morte di Diana Spencer (Lady D). A partire da schegge sparse di ricordi che l’Autore ha raccolto negli archivi di famiglia, in quelli dell’intelligence family internazionale e in fondi privati, il Libro degli Ospiti pro-pone approfondimenti che a volte discordano e a volte completano eventi cari alla nostra mitografia, senza presun-zione di revisione o giustificazione. Il castello è il testimo-ne-cornice che lega i protagonisti del Libro degli Ospiti, tra le cui mura corre un viaggio irriverente che oscilla tra tragedia e parodia del gossip storico, un viaggio non convenzionale e coinvolgente attraverso una memoria che ci è vicina ma che abbiamo dimenticato.

Il «corpo reale d’artiglieria volante» sardo fu organizzato nel 1816 e l'8 aprile 1831 fu stabilito che «Fra le quattro Compagnie dell'attuale artiglieria
leggera le prime due … saranno destinate a far campagna come artiglieria leggera». Erano nate le "Batterie a cavallo", le leggendarie "Volòire" che oggi compiono 176 anni, festeggiando contemporaneamente i 120 anni a Milano (1887-2007), unico Reggimento italiano che può vantare una così lunga permanenza nella stessa città.
