English term or phrase: cast upon
his thoughts drifted back to Loreto, where he had been so brusquely cast upon his own resources, so unprepared for disaster, in such a state of shock at the appalling death of his patron, weak from illness and with no more to buoy him up than amition of making his way to Rome to find there, as he hoped, a world in which he could work and prosper.

rigettato sulle


Explanation:
.... risorse personali, sulle proprie sole forze e capacità (senza quindi più aiuto da parte di acuno). Forse questo?

dov'era stato costretto, all'improvviso, a dover fare affidamento solo sulle proprie forze


Explanation:
non sapendo cosa viene prima, (che è successo a Loreto?:) questa e' la mia educated guess.

mi sembra di capire che il personaggio all'improvviso si trova solo ed è costretto a arrangiarsi con le proprie forze.

'brusquely' l'ho tradotto 'all'improvviso...anche bruscamenet volendo...
