Armatures for fireworks (Ruggieri, 1811)
- ... that Claude Ruggieri described pyrotechny as "a dark chaos which one cannot penetrate without the torch of chemistry?" Source: quoted in this published book
- ALT1:... that Claude Ruggieri was a leader in prioritizing color as an important element of fireworks displays? Source: "Prior to Ruggieri... manuals of fireworks... did not prioritize color as a desirable aesthetic component in displays" (page 187)

Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Both hooks are interesting and verified with supplied sources. QPQ is done. No copyvio issues (Earwig's high score is the result of a blockquote). Image is PD, although it's unclear how it can be incorporated into the hook(s). Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 22:32, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
