EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique ceremony that took place in Lucca during the visit of Benito Mussolini. The city's mayors, accompanied by standard bearers dressed in exquisite fourteenth-century costumes, eagerly awaited his arrival. Symbolic keys were offered to Mussolini as a gesture of honor and respect by these historical figures. Adding to the grandeur of the occasion, ten gentlemen also adorned in traditional attire presented him with a festive gift of flowers. This illustration, featured in Courier Sunday on May 25th, 1930, beautifully depicts this momentous event. The image showcases not only the military guards and soldiers present but also highlights the celebratory atmosphere surrounding Mussolini's visit. It provides a glimpse into Italian history and tradition while shedding light on the political climate at that time. Beltrame Achille (1871-1945), an acclaimed illustrator known for his attention to detail and historical accuracy, created this colorful lithograph. His artistic prowess brings life to every element within the frame - from Mussolini himself saluting amidst cheering crowds to meticulously designed costumes worn by participants. This photograph serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an important historical document capturing one of Italy's most influential politicians during an era marked by fascism.
