EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the past, a French visitor finds himself in the heart of Rome, surrounded by the rich history and passionate patriotism of the Italian people. The year is 1849, and the French army, under the command of Napoleon III, has recently re-taken the city on behalf of the Pope. However, the French occupation is far from popular among the Roman citizens, who have longed for their independence since the fall of the Roman Republic in 1848. As the Frenchman strolls through the bustling streets, he is suddenly confronted by a group of furious citizens, their faces etched with determination and anger. Waving Italian flags and brandishing makeshift weapons, they demand that the intruder leave their city. A brave and protective dog joins in the fray, barking fiercely at the unwelcome visitor. The historical significance of this moment is palpable. The French intervention in Rome marked the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. The event also fueled the Italian unification movement, which culminated in the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. Despite the challenges and dangers, the Frenchman stands his ground, perhaps hoping to find a peaceful resolution or simply to make his way through the crowd unscathed. The scene is a powerful reminder of the complex and often tumultuous relationship between the people of Rome and the outside world, a relationship that continues to shape the city's identity to this day. This image, captured in July of 1849, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Italian history, a moment that continues to resonate with visitors and scholars alike. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Italian people and their deep-rooted love for their city, a love that has weathered the test of time and the many challenges that have come its way.
