EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of triumph and jubilation as the Italian army, led by General Ricasoli, enters the historic city of Verona on July 20, 1866. The Second Italian War of Independence had reached its climax, and the Austrian forces, who had long held the city, had been forced to retreat. The Italians, who had been fighting for their freedom and unification, were greeted with unbridled enthusiasm by the local populace. Verona, a beautiful and culturally rich city in northern Italy, had been under Austrian rule since the Congress of Vienna in 1815. The Italian people had long yearned for their city to be reunited with the rest of Italy, and the arrival of the Italian army was a symbol of hope and liberation. The streets of Verona were filled with cheering crowds, waving Italian flags and welcoming their new liberators with open arms. The scene depicted in this photograph is a poignant reminder of the Risorgimento, the period of Italian history marked by the movement for Italian unification. This momentous event marked a turning point in Italian history, and the Italians' victory in Verona was a significant step towards the creation of a unified Italian state. The abandoned Austrian flags and military equipment in the foreground of the image serve as a stark reminder of the previous occupation and the hard-won victory that had just taken place. The enthusiasm and joy on the faces of the Italian soldiers and the local populace are palpable, and the image captures the sense of unity and pride that came with the Italian people's struggle for independence. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the Second Italian War of Independence and the impact it had on the Italian people and their country.
