Created by renowned artist William Lionel Wyllie, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing maritime scenes with incredible detail. The scene is set against a backdrop of bustling activity as ships from the British fleet and an escorting despatch boat gather to witness this grand occasion. The Italian flagship proudly stands tall, ready to embark on its maiden voyage. King Humbert himself graces the deck, symbolizing Italy's commitment to naval power. As crowds eagerly watch from boardwalks and balconies, anticipation fills the air. The atmosphere is electric as cannons thunderously announce the ship's departure.

The picturesque coastal town of Castellamare provides a stunning backdrop as 'Italia' sets sail towards Naples. This monumental event not only signifies Italy's emergence as a formidable naval force but also highlights their determination to protect their shores and assert themselves on the European stage. This remarkable engraving immortalizes an important chapter in Italian history while showcasing Wyllie's mastery in capturing both intricate details and powerful emotions within his artwork.
