EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Ciompi revolt in Florence. In July 1378, amidst social unrest, the hero of the small people, Michele di Lando, emerges as a symbol of hope for the working class. As a wool worker from the prestigious Arte della Lana guild, he represents their struggles and aspirations. In this image, we see Michele di Lando being greeted by an enthusiastic crowd. The artist Tancredi Scarpelli masterfully portrays the energy and excitement surrounding this historical figure. Di Lando's presence exudes strength and determination as he stands tall amidst his supporters. The significance of this event cannot be overstated. The Ciompi revolt was a turning point in Florentine history - it marked a rare instance where those at the bottom of society rose up against their oppressors. Through sheer resilience and unity, they demanded better working conditions and representation. Scarpelli's illustration beautifully captures both the individual bravery of Michele di Lando and the collective power of ordinary people coming together for change. This artwork serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, there is always room for hope and progress. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Paolo Giudici's "History of Italy" we are transported back to that fateful day in 1378 when one man became an emblematic leader for his fellow workers. It is through art like this that history comes alive before our eyes, inspiring us to never forget those who fought tirelessly for justice centuries ago.
