EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity of the Italian naval action during the First World War, as an armoured monitor boat, armed with formidable 381mm guns, engages in a fierce battle at sea. The massive plumes of smoke rising from the water indicate the intense artillery fire being exchanged between the opposing forces. Amidst the chaos, a brave Italian pilot takes to the skies above in his aeroplane, scanning the horizon for enemy ships or submarines. The addition of military aviation marked a significant turning point in naval warfare, providing reconnaissance, communication, and even direct attack capabilities. The combination of the powerful Italian naval force and the innovative use of military aviation underscores the determination and technological prowess of the Italian military during this pivotal period in world history. The image, dated between 1915 and 1918, is a testament to the courage and resilience of the Italian forces as they fought to defend their nation's interests on the seas during the Great War.
