EDITORS COMMENTS
In this awe-inspiring image, captured during the tumultuous days of World War I, we bear witness to an unprecedented propaganda campaign orchestrated by the Italian poet and nationalist, Gabriele d'Annunzio. The scene unfolds above the historic center of Vienna, Austria, with the city's iconic architecture laid out beneath a clear, blue sky. At the heart of this panorama, a formation of eleven planes, led by d'Annunzio's Ansaldo SVA biplane, releases a rain of thousands of propaganda leaflets. D'Annunzio, an influential figure in Italian literature and a fervent nationalist, had long advocated for Italian dominance in the Adriatic region, which included the Austro-Hungarian territories of Trieste and Istria. Seeking to bolster morale and rally support for the Italian war effort, he organized this daring aerial assault on the enemy's capital. Accompanied by ten other planes from the 87th Squadron, d'Annunzio dropped the leaflets, each bearing his impassioned words, over the Austrian metropolis. This photograph captures the moment of release, as the planes fly in formation, their wings casting long shadows over the city below. The thousands of leaflets, like a gentle snowfall, drift down to the streets of Vienna, carrying the message of Italian nationalism and the call to arms. The image stands as a testament to the power of communication in times of war and the audacious spirit of those who wielded it.
