EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative and powerful patriotic Italian postcard, dating back to 1916, showcases a muscular, nearly-naked man standing before a blazing altar. The man's determined expression and the fiery backdrop convey a sense of intense devotion and sacrifice. A crown of thorns rests atop the altar, symbolizing the pain and suffering that the man is willing to endure for the greater good of his country. The Italian word "Patria" is prominently displayed at the bottom of the postcard, emphasizing the importance of love and commitment to one's homeland. The image of a bare-chested man making a personal sacrifice for the state was a common theme in Italian propaganda during this time. The sacrifices being made by the Italian people during World War I were immense, and this postcard serves as a reminder of the importance of individual sacrifice for the collective good. The use of the crown of thorns further emphasizes the idea of suffering for a higher cause, drawing parallels between religious martyrdom and the selflessness required for the betterment of the nation. This postcard, from the Mary Evans Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, is a poignant and powerful representation of the deep-rooted pride and dedication that Italians felt towards their country during this period. The image of the man before the flaming altar serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Italian people and their unwavering commitment to their nation.
