A Night of Fright in Pecol - A Haunting Image of Tragedy and Escape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "A night of fright spent the inhabitants of Pecol, a hamlet of the municipality of Forno" by Achille Beltrame, takes us back to a harrowing event that unfolded in the Dolomites. In this vividly colored lithograph, we witness the panic-stricken villagers as they desperately flee their burning homes. The darkness is pierced by billowing smoke and flickering flames that engulf twelve houses, leaving behind only charred ruins. Men, women, and children can be seen running through the narrow streets with terror etched on their faces. The chaos is palpable as families clutch their babies tightly while trying to escape from the relentless fire. Amidst this scene of devastation and fear, one cannot help but admire the resilience displayed by these Italian villagers. They navigate through treacherous paths illuminated solely by flickering flames as they seek safety outside their beloved village. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on October 25th, 1931 captures not only a moment in history but also evokes strong emotions within us. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tragedy and destruction, humanity finds strength to endure and rebuild. This powerful image encapsulates both the fragility and indomitable spirit of human life when faced with adversity. It stands as a testament to our shared experiences during times of crisis throughout history – reminding us to cherish what we have while acknowledging our capacity for resilience in times of great distress.
