EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Celebration of religious service in a road of Fiume" captures a momentous occasion during the city's occupation by Italian legionary troops led by Gabriele D'Annunzio. The image, taken on March 21,1920, transports us back to a time when religion and military presence intertwined. In this scene, an altar stands prominently in the middle of the road, adorned with sacred elements and furnishings. A group of army officers and Italian legionaries surround it while participating in a religious rite. The atmosphere is electric as the local population gathers on both sides of the road, perched on improvised scaffoldings to catch a glimpse of this significant event. The soldiers are dressed impeccably in their military attire, representing strength and authority. Meanwhile, clergy members can be seen amongst them, symbolizing the intertwining relationship between faith and power. This juxtaposition creates an intriguing dynamic within the photograph. As we observe this street scene unfold before our eyes, we cannot help but notice flags waving proudly above buildings and instruments playing solemn melodies that echo through the air. These insignias serve as reminders of Italy's society and politics at that time – filled with passion for their nation's history and contemporary aspirations. Beyond capturing this historical moment within Fiume's occupied streetscape lies something deeper: an exploration into human nature itself. It reminds us how religion has always played a vital role in shaping societies throughout history – providing solace during times of turmoil or conflict. Through Slocovich's lens from Alinari comes not just an image frozen in time but also an invitation to reflect upon our own beliefs amidst changing landscapes – both physical and metaphorical.
