EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic meeting that took place on 11 February between Pope Pius XI and Benito Mussolini. In this colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness a momentous occasion where two powerful figures come together to discuss important matters. The image showcases the grandeur of the setting, with ornate chairs and lavish furnishings surrounding them. The pope is seen seated in his distinguished vestments, while Mussolini exudes authority in his uniform as Prime Minister of Italy. Their official discussion signifies the convergence of politics and religion during this era. The conversation between these influential leaders holds great significance as it pertains to the Lateran Treaty, an agreement signed just days after this meeting. This treaty established diplomatic relations between the Holy See and Italy, marking a pivotal moment in history. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures their engagement, emphasizing their intense focus on each other amidst a backdrop of political symbolism. The artist skillfully portrays not only their physical presence but also conveys the weightiness of their exchange through subtle details such as body language and facial expressions. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of an important chapter in Italian history when nationalism and fascism were at its peak. It immortalizes a significant moment when two contrasting ideologies converged for mutual benefit – highlighting both cooperation and tension within society at that time.
