EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in Italy's history - the visit of the King of Italy to Reggio Calabria. The image, an illustration by Achille Beltrame, was featured in the Sunday supplement of Corriere della Sera newspaper on December 28th, 1908. In this powerful scene, we witness a stark contrast between destruction and hope. Kneeling amidst the ruins is a group of impoverished men and women, representing the hardships faced by the people during that period. Standing tall above them is the king himself, exuding authority and strength. The architecture surrounding them reflects both their past glory and present struggles. The building exterior showcases grandeur but also bears signs of decay caused by time and neglect. As we observe this urban scene from a vertical perspective, it becomes evident that this illustration captures not only a historical event but also serves as social commentary on society at large. It symbolizes resilience in times of adversity. Beltrame's skillful brushstrokes bring life to every detail - from period costumes worn by individuals to Western script text adorning banners held aloft by hopeful citizens. This remarkable artwork transports us back to early 20th-century Italy, allowing us to reflect upon its rich history while contemplating themes such as poverty, power dynamics, and human resilience against all odds.
