EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in Italian history as Vittorio Emanuele II, the first King of a united Italy, and Napoleon III of France ride in triumph through the streets of Milano on June 28, 1859. The city had recently been liberated from Austrian rule during the Second Italian War of Independence, a key event in the Risorgimento, or Italian Unification. The triumphal procession marked the beginning of Italian unity under the leadership of Vittorio Emanuele II. The image shows the two monarchs seated on horses, with their entourages following behind. The crowd lining the streets of Milano is a sea of people, waving flags and cheering in celebration. The atmosphere is one of jubilation and hope for a brighter future. The Second Italian War of Independence was a significant turning point in Italian history, as it marked the end of foreign domination and the beginning of Italian self-rule. The Risorgimento, or Italian Unification, was a long and complex process that involved various political and military struggles. This photograph is a testament to the determination and perseverance of the Italian people in their quest for independence and unity. The event took place just a few years before the formal unification of Italy in 1861, and it is considered a symbolic moment in the country's history. The triumphal procession through Milano was a powerful display of Italian pride and unity, and it remains an important part of Italy's rich historical heritage.
