EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of the city of Rijeka takes us back in time to the early 1920s, offering a glimpse into its rich history and breathtaking landscape. The photograph showcases not only the stunning seascape but also highlights significant elements that shaped this Croatian city's identity. At first glance, one cannot miss the prominent signature on the card of Italo Balbo, an Italian aviator and politician who played a crucial role during this period. His presence adds an intriguing layer to this image, hinting at his influence in shaping both Italy's military forces and contemporary nations' histories. The sprawling cityscape below reveals a bustling metropolis with hints of its maritime heritage. Ships dotting the coastline remind us of Rijeka's historical significance as a major port town. This connection to sea trade is further emphasized by glimpses of military equipment and armed forces present in the photo – symbols reminding us that Rijeka was not only a hub for commerce but also held strategic importance within Italy's defense system. As our eyes wander beyond the urban sprawl, we are greeted by majestic mountains towering over Rijeka. This juxtaposition between sea and mountains encapsulates Croatia's diverse landscapes while providing insight into how geography has influenced its population distribution throughout history. Preserved through time by Ministero dell'Aeronautica - Stabilimento Fotomeccanico, this remarkable print offers more than just visual appeal; it serves as a window into an era characterized by rapid change and political transformations across Europe. Whether viewed from an artistic or historical lens, this photograph invites contemplation on themes such as national identity, territorial dynamics, and even commercial development – all woven together seamlessly in one captivating frame.
