EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic representation of the Carroccio, a magnificent cart adorned with city signs that served as a unifying symbol for the militias of the communes in the Po plain. Created by Aribert, archbishop of Milan, during Emperor Conrad II's siege on the city in 1037, this War altar played a crucial role in defending Milan against external threats. The image beautifully captures Tancredi Scarpelli's intricate illustration from Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (History of Italy) published in 1930. Scarpelli's attention to detail brings to life this significant moment in Italian history and offers us a glimpse into its rich cultural heritage. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to an era where unity and resilience were paramount. The Carroccio stands tall at the center of attention, surrounded by brave militia members who gather around it with unwavering determination. Its presence exudes strength and solidarity as it becomes a rallying point for those fighting to protect their beloved city. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact, reminding us of our past struggles and triumphs. It is through such visual representations that we can appreciate and honor our ancestors' sacrifices while celebrating their indomitable spirit.
