EDITORS COMMENTS
Villa Santucci, Head-Quarters of General Oudinot, Rome, 1850: This evocative print depicts the Villa Santucci in Rome, which served as the headquarters of General Nicolas Charles Oudinot during the Siege of Rome in 1849. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, captures the villa and its surroundings, a field of many a sanguinary affray in the vicinity. In the foreground, a cottage lies shattered and torn with cannon-shot, a poignant reminder of the violence that had recently transpired. The Villa Vanutelli, a short distance in the rear, stands as a contrast to the destruction, its grandeur intact. General Oudinot, Duke of Reggio, was a French military leader who played a pivotal role in the suppression of the Roman Republic during the Risorgimento period. The Siege of Rome, which lasted from May to July 1849, marked the end of the Roman Republic and the restoration of the Papal States. The print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of conflict and change in Italian history. It is a reminder of the rich architectural heritage of Rome and the pivotal role that the city has played in European history. The print, with its intricate details and atmospheric quality, continues to captivate viewers and remains a popular tourist attraction for those interested in history and architecture.
