EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the momentous entry of the Piedmontese army into Milano, Italy, on March 18, 1848. Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Italian Risorgimento, or Resurgence, the Piedmontese forces, led by King Carlo Alberto, marched into the city to quell the uprising that had been brewing for weeks. The revolutionaries, inspired by the democratic and nationalist sentiments sweeping Europe, had seized control of Milano in February, proclaiming the short-lived Republic of Milano. The arrival of the Piedmontese army marked a turning point in the conflict. The Italian states were then divided among various European powers, with the Austrian Empire holding sway over much of Lombardy-Venetia, including Milano. The Piedmontese, who ruled the Kingdom of Sardinia, saw an opportunity to expand their territories and unite the Italian peninsula under one rule. The soldiers in this photograph, dressed in their distinctive red coats and hats, can be seen advancing through the city gates, their weapons at the ready. The Milanesi, a mix of civilians and revolutionaries, line the streets to greet them, their expressions a blend of hope, defiance, and uncertainty. The scene is one of both triumph and trepidation, as the future of Milano and, indeed, Italy hung in the balance. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex and tumultuous events that shaped the Italian peninsula in the 19th century. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Italian people and their quest for self-determination, a quest that would ultimately lead to the unification of Italy under the House of Savoy in 1861.
