EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster, dating from circa 1917-1918, was a poignant call to action during Italy's participation in the First World War. The image, which depicts a determined Italian soldier standing at the edge of the Piave River, poised to sink an axe into a large, encroaching hand on the other side, is a potent symbol of Italy's resolve to defend its homeland against the enemy. The Piave River, which runs through northeastern Italy, became a significant battleground during the war, with fierce fighting taking place between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces. The symbolism of the river as a boundary between the familiar and the unknown, between safety and danger, adds to the emotional impact of the poster. The poster was part of a larger Italian fundraising effort during the war, with the proceeds going towards financing the military effort and providing support for soldiers and their families. The image of the soldier, with his muscular frame and determined expression, was intended to inspire Italians to dig deep and contribute what they could to the war effort. The poster's enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the spirit of sacrifice and resilience that defined the Italian experience during the First World War. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike, and the importance of coming together to defend one's country in times of crisis.
