EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the intense Battle of Albergo della Campana at Mestre on October 27,1848, during the historic siege of Venice in 1848-9. Created by Italian artist Vincenzo Giacomelli and housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this print showcases a pivotal moment in the Italian War of Independence. The scene depicts a fierce clash between Piemontaise and Austrian armies as they confront each other with unwavering determination. The Austrians had received intelligence that General Pepe was planning a sortie against their stronghold at Mestre, leading them to fortify it with a formidable garrison of 1700 soldiers. However, against all odds, an outnumbered force of only 700 Italians managed to defeat them. In this engraving, we witness the bravery and resilience displayed by these Italian soldiers as they fight valiantly for their cause. The flag fluttering proudly above them symbolizes their unwavering spirit and dedication to achieving independence for their beloved nation. This famous incident became an iconic moment within the Risorgimento movement—a period marked by fervent nationalism and calls for unification across Italy. It serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those fighting for freedom during this tumultuous time. Through this powerful image captured by Giacomelli's skilled hand, we are transported back to that fateful day when courage triumphed over adversity amidst one of history's most
