EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in Italian history during the 19th century. Titled "Vittorio Emanuele I Si Rifiuta Di Abolire La Legge Salica" it depicts King Vittorio Emanuele I of Italy refusing to abolish the Salic Law. Created by renowned artist Edouardo Matania, this print is part of a private collection. The illustration originally appeared in Francesco Bertolini's book, "Storia del Risorgimento Italiano" published in 1889. The image showcases the struggle for Italian unification known as the Risorgimento, which aimed to unite various regions into one nation. In this scene, King Vittorio Emanuele I stands firm against calls to abolish the Salic Law—a law that prevented women from inheriting the throne. His refusal symbolizes his commitment to preserving traditional values and maintaining stability within Italy. The artwork not only highlights an important historical event but also demonstrates Matania's exceptional talent for capturing emotion and detail through engravings. The composition evokes a sense of tension and determination, with Victor Emanuel I portrayed as a strong leader amidst political turmoil. This print serves as a reminder of Italy's complex journey towards unity and its rich cultural heritage. It represents an era when Italians fought passionately for their independence and identity within Europe while honoring their traditions.
