EDITORS COMMENTS
In the cemetery of Portici (Naples), two carabinieri, dressed in white and lurking inside a niche, prepare to surprise a blackmailer who had been preying on unsuspecting victims. With revolvers at the ready, they wait for the opportune moment to apprehend him. This dramatic scene captured in Achille Beltrame's colour lithograph depicts a thrilling encounter that unfolded on September 28th, 1930. The story behind this image is as bizarre as it is captivating. The blackmailer had arranged to collect a sum of money left on a designated tomb within the cemetery. Little did he know that his intended victims were not so easily fooled. As he approached the tomb, expecting an easy score, he was met with an unexpected sight - two carabinieri jumping out from their hiding place. Startled and threatened by the officers' revolvers, the blackmailer found himself trapped and powerless against their authority. In one swift motion, his criminal activities came crashing down around him as he was swiftly arrested. This extraordinary event serves as a reminder of both the ingenuity and determination of law enforcement officials in combating crime. It also highlights how even within seemingly peaceful places like cemeteries, danger can lurk just beneath the surface. Beltrame's illustration captures this tense moment perfectly; it conveys both surprise and relief simultaneously through its use of color and composition. A true testament to his skill as an illustrator.
