EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heroism of Italian legionnaires on the Spanish fields" by Achille Beltrame showcases a powerful moment during the Spanish Civil War. The image depicts a courageous tanker corporal, who despite being hit by a devastating bomb that shatters his hand, remains steadfast at his machine gun. His unwavering determination and resilience in the face of excruciating pain exemplify true heroism. The scene captures the intensity and chaos of battle as infantrymen charge forward while planes soar overhead, dropping heavy bombs upon the battlefield. The corporal's sacrifice and refusal to abandon his post until the fight concludes demonstrate an extraordinary level of dedication to his comrades and cause.
