EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic city of Perugia, Umbria, Italy, in 1918, with the iconic marble fountain of Piazza IV Novembre taking center stage. The fountain, constructed between 1277 and 1280 by renowned Florentine sculptor Arnolfo di Cambio, stands as a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of the city. The fountain's intricate design, featuring three figures and a lion, has captivated visitors for centuries. In the foreground of the image, a group of Bersaglieri soldiers are seen standing at attention. The Bersaglieri, a corps of the Italian Army, were originally created by General Alessandro La Marmora in 1836 to serve in the Army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, later to become the Royal Italian Army. Known for their distinctive uniforms and disciplined training, the Bersaglieri were a formidable force on the battlefield. Perugia, the capital city of the region of Umbria, is situated along the banks of the Tiber River. The city's historic center, with its winding streets, ancient buildings, and beautiful piazzas, has long been a popular destination for travelers. The image of the Bersaglieri in front of the fountain serves as a reminder of the city's past as a strategic military stronghold and its present as a cultural and historical treasure.
