EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the origin of a deep division between two prominent clans in Italy's history - the black and white Guelfi. The story dates back to 1294-1296 in Pistoia, where an intense fight erupted in a tavern between two half-brothers named Bianca and Nera. This clash ultimately led to the formation of these distinct factions within the Guelfi community. Illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli, this image beautifully depicts the dramatic moment that forever altered Italian politics. Scarpelli's attention to detail brings life to this historical event, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its significance. The division between the white Guelphs and black Guelphs traces its roots back to this fateful encounter at an inn. It is fascinating how such a seemingly small incident could have far-reaching consequences for generations to come. Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (History of Italy) provides further context and insight into this significant turning point in Italian history. Preserved as part of a private collection, this photograph from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into our past, reminding us of the complex dynamics that have shaped our present-day society. As we reflect on this powerful image, we are reminded of how even seemingly insignificant events can leave lasting imprints on our collective memory.
