From a correspondence by Mario Massai to Corriere della Sera, we gathered at Dagahbur just before ten, in an esplanade, in front of a radio set.

The Voice of Rome at Seven Thousand Kilometers
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in history. The image, created by the talented artist Achille Beltrame, depicts an evening scene in Dagahbur, Ethiopia during the height of Italian colonial rule. In this powerful illustration for Courier Sunday on May 24th, 1936, we witness a gathering of soldiers and African locals around a radio set. The atmosphere is tense as they anxiously listen to news from their homeland thousands of kilometers away. Despite the darkness and desolation of the desert surroundings, the glow from lanterns and fires illuminates their faces with anticipation. Beltrame's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. From the soldiers seated on damp grass to the machinery and furniture scattered across the field, every element tells a story. The flames from braziers and campfires symbolize both warmth and destruction - representing hope for some but disastrous consequences for others. This artwork serves as a reminder of Italy's imperial ambitions during this time period while also highlighting the technological advancements that connected distant colonies with their motherland. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, cultural exchange, and human resilience in times of war. "The Voice of Rome at Seven Thousand Kilometers" is not just an exquisite piece of art; it encapsulates an important chapter in history that should never be forgotten or overlooked.
