EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of great honor and patriotism in Tripoli during the Italo-Turkish War. The image depicts the solemn presentation of the gold medal to the esteemed 84th infantry, accompanied by a heartwarming kiss bestowed upon the award-winning flag. Created by renowned artist Achille Beltrame, this color lithograph beautifully portrays this significant event. The scene showcases soldiers from Italy's colonial army in North Africa, as they receive recognition for their bravery and dedication on the battlefield. With sand dunes stretching into the distance and an azure beach nearby, it is evident that this ceremony takes place amidst a desert landscape. The composition exudes pride and unity as officers salute their Ottoman counterparts while embracing their own national identity. This gesture symbolizes both respect for their adversaries and unwavering loyalty to Italy's imperial ambitions. Beltrame skillfully captures every detail with precision, emphasizing not only military prowess but also highlighting female soldiers serving alongside male counterparts—a testament to gender equality within Italian armed forces at that time. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to an era defined by conflict and conquest. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and women who fought valiantly in unfamiliar lands far from home. Through this image, we witness a poignant moment where duty meets devotion—an everlasting tribute to those who served under Italy's banner during this tumultuous period in history.
