The Inauguration of the Tripoli-Zuara Railway Line - A Celebration of Muslim Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous occasion in history - the inauguration of the Tripoli-Zuara railway line. The image showcases the characteristic Muslim ceremony that accompanied this grand event, adding an air of cultural significance and religious fervor. Intriguingly, two lambs are seen being sacrificed on the rails as part of this traditional Muslim ritual. This act symbolizes blessings and good fortune for the newly established railway line, connecting Tripoli to Zuara. The vibrant colors depicted in this color litho bring to life not only the ceremonial robes worn by priests but also highlight the diversity among attendees - soldiers, officers, and civilians alike. The presence of various African tribesmen further emphasizes how this milestone impacted not just Italy's empire but also North Africa as a whole. It is evident that this inauguration was more than just a transportation development; it represented progress and unity between different cultures. Beltrame Achille's remarkable illustration beautifully captures both the solemnity and excitement surrounding this historic event. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back to April 4-11,1920 when crowds gathered to witness an extraordinary blend of tradition and modernization. This print serves as a testament to Arab civilization's rich heritage while shedding light on Italy's influence in Libya during colonial times. It stands as a reminder that even within public transport infrastructure lies an opportunity for cultural exchange and celebration.
