EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Italian history as Benito Mussolini, the charismatic leader of the Fascist Party, sits next to King Vittorio Emanuele III during a solemn Te Deum service at the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Rome, Italy, in 1927. The Te Deum, a prayer of thanksgiving, was held to celebrate the recent victory of the Italian army in the war against Ethiopia, marking the height of Mussolini's power and influence. The image of the two men, seated side by side, symbolizes the uneasy alliance between the monarchy and the fascist regime, as Mussolini's political power continued to grow, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Italian Social Republic in 1943. The grandeur of the church setting, with its ornate decorations and stained glass windows, serves as a stark contrast to the political turmoil and upheaval that was taking place in Italy at the time. This historical photograph is a testament to the complex and intriguing dynamics of Italian politics in the 1920s and 1930s, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Italian history.
