EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Italian history as Vittorio Emanuele II, the first King of a unified Italy, bids farewell to Florence, then the capital city of Italy, to join his army in the Seven Weeks War against Austria in June 1866. The historical event marked a significant turning point, as Italy was on the brink of gaining control over the Veneto region, which had been under Austrian rule for centuries. The image, taken circa 1866, shows Vittorio Emanuele II standing on the balcony of the Palazzo Pitti, overlooking the Boboli Gardens, with a determined expression on his face. He is dressed in a military uniform, signifying his readiness to lead his troops into battle. The King's departure from Florence was a symbolic gesture, as it marked the beginning of the end for Austrian dominance in Italy. The Seven Weeks War, also known as the Third Italian War of Independence, was a decisive victory for Italy, resulting in the relinquishment of Veneto and other territories to the newly formed Italian state. This photograph is an important reminder of the courage and determination of Vittorio Emanuele II and the Italian people during a critical period in their history. The image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the past and the making of modern Italy.
