EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures Enrico Toti, a legendary figure in Italian history. The front page of Corriere Sunday showcases the iconic moment when Toti, mortally wounded during an attack on Monfalcone on August 6th, 1916, defiantly launched his crutch into enemy lines. Despite being maimed in his left leg due to a train accident, Toti had volunteered as a Bersagliere and was awarded a gold medal for his military valor. Illustrated by Achille Beltrame in 1916, this lithograph beautifully portrays the patriotism and heroism that defined Toti's character. The vibrant colors bring life to the image - from the Italian flag waving proudly in the background to the European Union symbolizing unity amidst war-torn Europe. Displayed at a newspaper stand alongside other daily newspapers, this artwork represents more than just journalism; it symbolizes sacrifice and dedication to one's homeland. Beltrame skillfully captured Toti's amputee status and disability while emphasizing his unwavering spirit. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of World War I's toll on individuals like Enrico Toti who gave their lives for their country. It is not only an homage to an extraordinary hero but also an embodiment of resilience and bravery that continues to inspire generations today.
