" This exquisite artwork, painted with tempera on panel and adorned with water gilding and silver leaf, transports us back to an era filled with mythical creatures and heroic knights. Fast forward to c. 1901 in Zanzibar, Africa - a military parade unfolds before our eyes. The echoes of drums reverberate through the air as brave soldiers march proudly, reminiscent of their counterparts who fought valiantly during World War II's East African Campaign. Travel even further back in time to Ancient Greece when Alexander faced off against Persians in his legendary Persian War. Witnessing the clash between phalanxes and Persians reveals not only fierce battles but also strategic brilliance that shaped history forever. But let us not forget about Pietro Mascagni himself.

These depictions transport us straight onto battlefields where war carriages charge fearlessly amidst chaos and conflict.
