EDITORS COMMENTS
The Black Shirts in Uarieus pace (colour litho) captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the soldiers of the XXVIII October Division as they valiantly defend against relentless attacks. This powerful illustration by Achille Beltrame, dating back to 1936, showcases the bravery and determination of these Italian troops during a fierce campaign. In this scene, we witness the Black Shirts resisting assaults from Ras Cassa and Sejum's chosen troops for two grueling days. Undeterred by their adversaries' strength, these soldiers finally launch a decisive bayonet attack that ultimately leads to victory. The explosive energy depicted through vivid colors and dynamic lines conveys the intensity of this battle. The artwork also offers insights into Italy's colonial ambitions at that time. With airplanes soaring above and African landscapes serving as a backdrop, it highlights Italy's military presence in Africa. The image symbolizes both imperialism and resistance within an era defined by shifting power dynamics. Beltrame's exceptional talent as an illustrator is evident in his meticulous attention to detail – from uniforms to weaponry – which adds authenticity to this historical representation. Through his artistry, he brings alive not only the courage of these soldiers but also the spirit of adventure associated with early aviation. This print serves as a reminder of past struggles while honoring those who fought bravely on distant shores.
