EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and historic print captures the moment when anarchist Gaetano Bresci took matters into his own hands in retaliation for the brutal suppression of a workers' demonstration in Milano. In July 1900, Bresci traveled all the way from America to Italy with one mission - to seek justice by assassinating King Umberto I.
The scene unfolds at a sports meeting in Monza, where Umberto I was attending an event. As he sat among the crowd, little did he know that his reign would come to a sudden and violent end. Bresci seized the opportunity and fired shots at the king, ultimately ending his life.
This photograph serves as a chilling reminder of the lengths people will go to fight against oppression and injustice. It immortalizes an act of defiance that shook Italy to its core and sparked debates about political violence and revolution.
As we look back on this momentous event in history, we are reminded of the power of individuals to stand up against tyranny, no matter how far they may have to travel or what risks they may face. The bravery and determination shown by Gaetano Bresci will forever be etched into our memories through this striking image captured by Rights Managed.
