# Marconi Obelisk

The Obelisk of Marconi, or Obelisk of EUR, is an obelisk of Rome (Italy), counted among the most modern in the city together with the Obelisco Novecento (by Arnaldo Pomodoro) and the obelisks of the Foro Italico, Villa Torlonia and Villa Medici.
A work of the sculptor Arturo Dazzi, it is dedicated to the physicist, inventor and senator Guglielmo Marconi.

## History

The work was commissioned in 1939 by the Ministry of Popular Culture to the sculptor Arturo Dazzi from Carrara to decorate Piazza Imperiale – which, according to the project of the 1942 World's fair of Rome, should have been located in the center of the newborn quarter – and to commemorate the physicist and inventor Guglielmo Marconi (who had died 2 years earlier).
With the entry of Italy into the World War II in 1940, the works were suddenly interrupted, even if Dazzi had already completed the first two registers, carved in high relief on Carrara marble. In 1951 work resumed, despite the intention of the Ministry of Public Works, chaired by Salvatore Aldisio, to demolish the structure.
In 1953, on the occasion of an Agricultural Exhibition held in EUR, the sculptor refused to cover the reinforced concrete structure with temporary panels of gesso and, after having requested some funding in view of the 1960 Summer Olympics, the monument was concluded and inaugurated on 12 December 1959.

## Description

The structure of the obelisk has the shape of a truncated pyramid and is made up of reinforced concrete covered with 92 slabs of Carrara marble, on which the high reliefs, arranged in 4 rows, are carved.
The obelisk is placed in the center of the square, today named after Guglielmo Marconi; in the green flowerbed that surrounds it, the sculpture The awakening, a work by Seward Johnson, was placed in 2009 and removed in 2011.

# Springfield Model 1886

The Springfield Model 1886 was one of several models of carbines which used the trapdoor breechblock design developed by Erskine S. Allin. It was Springfield Armory's second attempt to create a single longarm that would satisfy the needs of the infantry, cavalry, and artillery (the first attempt being the Springfield Model 1882 short rifle).

## History and design

The model 1886 carbine featured the new sight created by Lieutenant Colonel Adelbert R. Buffington that had been incorporated into the Springfield Model 1884 rifle. The stock had a storage compartment for a three piece folding cleaning rod and a ruptured case extractor. The upper barrel band also had a curved swivel sling design that allowed it to fit close to the stock when the carbine was placed in a saddle boot. The model 1886 did not have the lower barrel band that had been present on the Model 1882. The carbine was fitted with a 24-inch (61 cm) barrel and a full walnut stock.
Approximately 1,000 carbines were produced and were sent to the field for trials. Like the model 1882, the model 1886 performed adequately in field trials, but was not seen as an improvement over existing arms.
# Spring Valley Caverns

Spring Valley Caverns is a cave system in southeastern Minnesota near Spring Valley, Minnesota in Fillmore County. The region is within the Driftless Area, a region noted for its karst topography, which includes caves and sinkholes.
Located on the privately owned Cave Preserve, the system measures over 5 3/4 miles in length, making it the largest privately owned system in Minnesota. It is listed as the 138th longest in the United States.
In 1966, Jon Henry Latcham discovered one half mile of cave passages on his property. After discovering the cave, Latcham decided to commercialize the cave with his neighbor Roger Winters. Together, they hired contractors to construct a road to the cave, bring electricity into the cave, and place a World War II Quonset building over the entrance to the cave. Finally, in 1968, they opened the cave to the public for tours. However, a year later Latcham lost the cave due to foreclosure, and it was sold to a new owner who kept the cave open to the public until 1971. In 1989, John Ackerman purchased the cave, and remains the present owner. Ackerman progressively discovered five more miles of cave segments. He has continued to acquire easements for cave rights in adjacent regions and installed artificial entrances for safe access into and out of the caves. Spring Valley Caverns is one of 38 caves located on the Cave Preserve. Ackerman details the history and discoveries on his website. Entry is available to scientists, select nature groups, and Minnesota Caving Club members and is tightly controlled.
