The Adventure of Forty Mantuans
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and vibrant lithograph by Achille Beltrame that captures a dramatic moment in history. The image depicts a chaotic scene where a bus carrying forty day trippers from Mantua hurtles down the Seriana Valley in Bergamo, Italy. Due to the breaking of the brakes, the bus descends at great speed along the road, skidding over a meadow before crashing into a farmstead. In this heart-stopping incident, several quick-thinking travelers manage to jump out of the bus just moments before impact. Unfortunately, about thirty people are injured during this painful adventure. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on July 26th, 1936 perfectly encapsulates the chaos and danger faced by these unsuspecting passengers. The lithograph showcases not only the accident itself but also provides glimpses into Italian countryside life with its lush green pastures and majestic mountains serving as an awe-inspiring backdrop. Beltrame's attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life - from the terrified expressions on people's faces to their desperate attempts to escape harm. "The Adventure of Forty Mantuans" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of an unfortunate event that unfolded decades ago. It reminds us of how unexpected circumstances can change lives in an instant while highlighting our resilience in times of crisis.
