A Great Patriotic Ceremony in Benghazi - A Symbol of Italian Colonial Power
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in the history of Italian colonialism. The image showcases a great patriotic ceremony held in Benghazi, Libya, during the early 20th century. In this vibrant color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness the solemn delivery of a flag granted by the King to the Corps of Colonial Troops of Cyrenaica. The new Governor, General Bongiovanni, stands tall and resolute as he performs this significant act with utmost reverence. Surrounding him are priests adorned in ceremonial robes and soldiers standing at attention. The presence of both religious and military figures highlights the intertwined nature of politics and religion within Italy's imperial ambitions. The grandeur of this occasion is further emphasized by the magnificent architecture that serves as a backdrop – an impressive monument representing power and authority. This visual spectacle reflects not only Italy's desire for control over its colonies but also its commitment to promoting Catholicism throughout these territories. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, it evokes feelings of nationalism and pride for those who were partaking in or witnessing such events at that time. It reminds us how art can capture moments that shape nations' identities while simultaneously raising questions about imperialism and its impact on indigenous cultures. This remarkable photograph print from Fine Art Finder offers us a glimpse into an era when political power was displayed through elaborate ceremonies, symbolizing dominance over foreign lands.
