EDITORS COMMENTS
In a hamlet of Barge (Cuneo), a man finds himself in a perilous situation as he slips and falls over an abyss, teetering on the edge of disaster. Miraculously, he becomes entangled in a bush, saving him from certain doom. His wife, overcome with desperation to free him from this tragic predicament, is also at risk of falling onto the treacherous ground below. But just when all hope seems lost, a young local fascist comes to their rescue. With great agility and bravery, he leaps between cliffs to reach the woman and pulls her away from danger. Then, summoning enormous strength and determination, he manages to save her husband as well. This powerful image captures not only the heroic actions of this young man but also highlights the unpredictable nature of life in these mountainous regions. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of despair and vulnerability, there are individuals who rise above adversity to lend a helping hand. Illustrated for Courier Sunday in February 1940 by Achille Beltrame, this color lithograph showcases both the beauty and dangers inherent in mountaineering sports. It portrays themes such as teamwork, courage under pressure, and resilience against natural forces. The print evokes emotions ranging from fear to relief while celebrating human strength and compassion amidst challenging circumstances.
