EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide depicts the picturesque Piazza de Martiri, or Martyrs' Square, located in the heart of Naples, Italy. Established in the late 19th century, this square took on significant patriotic meaning in 1861 when Italy was united. The monument at the center of the square, erected in 1866, stands as a symbol of the various struggles for Italian independence. Four majestic lions adorn the base of the monument, representing the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799, uprisings in 1820 and 1848, and the War of Unification in 1860. Each lion embodies the spirit and resilience of the Italian people during these pivotal moments in history. The vibrant colors of this lantern slide offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Italy during the late 1800s. This historical artifact, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 214, Italy Coloured, Slide number 34, provides a fascinating look into the past and serves as a reminder of the profound impact of Italy's patriotic struggles.
