EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Italian in the Year XII" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases 250 Abruzzese heads of families embarking on a train journey from Syracuse to Cyrenaica, Africa, during the year XII (1934). As they leave their homeland behind, these brave pioneers are met with joyous celebrations at each station along the way. The photograph captures the essence of hope and excitement as these Italian emigrants wave farewell to their loved ones. It symbolizes not only their personal journeys but also Italy's imperial ambitions during this time. The image is filled with symbolism, representing the strong connection between fascism and colonialism. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday beautifully depicts the spirit of adventure and determination that characterized this era. The smoke billowing from the train adds an air of anticipation as it carries these families towards new beginnings in North Africa. This powerful image serves as a reminder of Italy's aspirations for expansion and its impact on both its citizens and those living within its colonies. It encapsulates a pivotal moment in history when emigration played a crucial role in shaping nations' destinies. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era where railways were more than just means of transportation; they represented dreams realized and futures yet to be discovered.
