EDITORS COMMENTS
How the Italians Drove the Austrians out of Burning Asiago, 1917". This print captures a pivotal moment during the First World War, showcasing the relentless determination of Italian forces as they fought to reclaim their land from Austrian invaders. The image depicts a group of brave Italian soldiers defending their country against overwhelming odds in the war-ravaged town of Asiago. The scene is filled with action and intensity, as smoke billows from burning buildings in the background. Barbed wire barricades serve as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by these courageous men. With rifles aimed and eyes focused on their target, these soldiers embody strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The photograph's historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of wartime heroism but also in its documentation of an important chapter in Italy's struggle for independence. Asiago, once nearly destroyed by countless battles between Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops, became a symbol of resilience and national pride. Although created by an unknown artist, this powerful image has been preserved within "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume VII" edited by J. A. Hammerton. Its inclusion serves as a testament to its importance within historical records. As we reflect upon this photograph today, let us remember those who fought valiantly to drive out foreign invaders and honor their sacrifice for freedom.
