EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Campaign of Italy in 805. In this illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli, we witness King Pepin of Italy (also known as Carloman) launching an attack on the Venetians in the islands of the lagoon. The artist's attention to detail and mastery of color bring this ancient battle scene to life. King Pepin, who reigned from 770 to 810, had set his sights on conquering Venice but faced great adversity during his unsuccessful siege in 805. As depicted in this artwork, naval warfare played a crucial role in this confrontation between two powerful forces. The image showcases the Italian flag proudly waving amidst a sea of vibrant colors, symbolizing both national pride and determination. It serves as a reminder of the fierce battles fought during that era and highlights the resilience and bravery displayed by those involved. Tancredi Scarpelli's skillful drawing transports us back to the Middle Ages, offering us a glimpse into one chapter of Italy's rich history. This historical piece is part of Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" collection from 1930 and is now housed within a private collection. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a testament to human ambition and reminds us that even failed campaigns can leave lasting impressions on our collective memory.
