• Abstract
  General Rodolfo Rabatta (1636-1688), from an ancient Gorizia family, is considered one of the most brilliant military commanders of the Habsburg Monarchy. Its decisive contribution to the Austrian victory in the siege of Vienna (1683) and to the subsequent Austro-Turkish war is due to innovations in the logistic chain and in the improvement of the conditions of the soldiers thanks to a solid supply network and the creation of military field hospitals. Rabatta, unlike his contemporaries, prevented the army from plundering the occupied territories to obtain supplies. The essay clarifies the family origins, the marriage with the daughter of the vice president of the Imperial War Council of Vienna and the reasons behind the choice of the military career made by Rabatta, who became the protagonist of the liberation of Buda (1686), integrating sources such as contemporary chronicles with the examination of the gazettes of the time.
