Da condottiero a ingegnere pubblico e Governatore d'Armi. Le diverse competenze di Stefano Boucaut (Buccò) al servizio dei provveditori generali di Dalmazia e Albania

Condottiero Stefano Boucaut or Buccò, as it is noted in the majority of official documents, is mentioned for the first time in 1657 in Kotor. During the next four decades Stefano Boucaut continues to advance in the degrees of the military and administrative structure of the Venetian government in Dalmatia and Albania, covering different roles and revealing his various skills. In 1685 he became Superintendent of Artillery on the territory of the entire province, at the same time preparing the drawings for the construction of the new fortifications in the delta of the Neretva river, in collaboration with other engineers in the province. Until his death in 1699, Boucaut continued to work as engineer, drawing the plans of the fortifications conquered during the military clashes in the war of Morea - as the fortresses of Sinj, Skradin, Vrpolje - and proposing the necessary works for their improvement. At the same time however, Boucaut also acted as civil engineer as well on several appraisals of civil projects. Presented here for the first time are a series of excerpts from different archival sources, with the aim of contributing to the knowledge of the intermingling roles and competences of the officers involved in the military and administrative apparatus of Dalmatia and Albania.
