EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment of departure for the Italian Carabinieri stationed in Chania, Crete, in 1907. During the period from 1898 to 1907, Crete was under the control of The Great Powers, with Chania being governed by the Italians. In this image, we see a line of smartly uniformed Italian policemen, each carrying their personal belongings, preparing to board small boats that will transport them back to their homeland. The Italian flag, proudly displayed on the mast of one of the boats, flutters in the breeze as a symbol of their national identity. The scene exudes a sense of both anticipation and sadness, as these men bid farewell to the land they have guarded and the people they have protected for the past nine years. This historical photograph offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in the complex history of Crete, providing a valuable insight into the cultural and political dynamics of the region during this time.
