Patriotic card which highlights the need for money during wartime and how every member of Italian society needs to do their bit and keep the national blood flowing through savings and underwriting the costs of the conflict. A (sadly rather vague) translation of the featured quote by Paolo Boselli. Date: circa 1916

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant Italian patriotic card, dating back to circa 1916, serves as a powerful reminder of the collective sacrifices and unwavering commitment required during wartime. The image features a male and female figure, each holding a shield adorned with the Italian flag, standing before a statue of the world with an outstretched hand. The quote inscribed at the bottom, 'Il sangue nazionale scorre dove si versa un soldo' (National blood flows where a penny is spent), is a poignant call to action from Paolo Boselli, emphasizing the importance of every member of Italian society doing their part, whether through savings or direct contributions, to keep the national spirit alive and underwrite the costs of the conflict during World War I. This evocative card speaks to the deep-rooted sense of patriotism and unity that permeated Italian society during this tumultuous period in history.
