EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous occasion of the opening of the new Italian Parliament in 1861, marking the completion of the Italian Unification process under King Victor Emmanuel II. The image, taken on March 17, shows the monarch presiding over the assembly of dignitaries and statesmen in the grand chamber of the new parliament building in Turin, Italy. The Italian Unification, also known as the Risorgimento, was a period of political and social change that brought the various states of the Italian peninsula together under a single government. The process began in 1815, following the Congress of Vienna, and was finally achieved in 1861 with the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy. The opening of the new parliament was a significant milestone in the unification process, symbolizing the birth of a modern, unified Italian nation. The photograph captures the solemnity and importance of the event, with the dignitaries dressed in their finest attire and the ornate decor of the parliament chamber adding to the grandeur of the scene. King Victor Emmanuel II, who had played a key role in the unification process, stands at the head of the chamber, surrounded by his advisors and the leaders of the various Italian states. The image is a testament to the hard work and determination of the Italian people and their leaders, who worked tirelessly to bring about the unification of their country. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Italian history. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and achievements of the past, and a reminder of the enduring spirit of the Italian people.
