EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A moving episode of love fatherland, Corporal Carola, of cavalry, wounded in Libya wants to kiss. . " by Achille Beltrame depicts a poignant moment during wartime. The image showcases the unwavering patriotism and sacrifice of Corporal Carola, a member of the Italian cavalry who was wounded in Libya. In this scene, we witness the injured corporal lying on a stretcher with his fellow soldiers surrounding him. Despite his grave condition, he musters all his strength to express his deep love for his country by kissing the banner before him. The red cross emblem on the flag symbolizes both hope and healing amidst the chaos of war. The illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday in August 1914 and serves as a powerful reminder of the tragic consequences that come with defending one's homeland. It captures not only Carola's bravery but also highlights Italy's imperial ambitions during that time. Beltrame masterfully portrays this emotional moment through vibrant colors and intricate details. The inclusion of palm trees further emphasizes the setting in North Africa while adding an element of exoticism to the scene. Overall, this artwork evokes strong feelings of nationalism and sacrifice while shedding light on historical events that shaped Italy's military involvement abroad. It stands as a testament to those who have given their lives for their country and serves as a reminder never to forget their sacrifices.
