EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history during the First World War. The poster, published to commemorate the defeat of Caporetto (or Battle of Karfreit) in October 1917, showcases an Italian soldier who has stripped the name "Caporetto" from the tip of his bayonet. The illustrator behind this striking image remains unidentified. The soldier's act symbolizes defiance and resilience in the face of adversity. It represents a refusal to be defined by defeat and a determination to rise above it. By removing the name associated with their loss, this soldier asserts their identity as part of a greater cause – one that transcends any single battle or setback. The composition is visually arresting, drawing attention to both the soldier's defiant gesture and his weary yet determined expression. The use of bold colors adds depth and intensity to the scene, evoking emotions associated with war and sacrifice. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict. It pays tribute not only to those who fought on behalf of their countries but also highlights individual acts that embody courage and perseverance amidst chaos. As we reflect upon this historical event through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are reminded that even in moments of defeat, there is always room for hope and redemption.
