The Great Atlantic Cruise - A Symbol of Nationalism and Modernity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Great Atlantic Cruise" captures a momentous event in history that epitomizes the spirit of nationalism and modernity. Taken by renowned illustrator Achille Beltrame in 1933, this colour litho showcases the crews and appliances blessed during their expedition in Orbetello. In the presence of General Balbo, commander of the expedition, attention is drawn to a group of Italian aviators standing proudly in their uniforms. The flags fly high as priests bless both men and weaponry alike, symbolizing the fusion of religion with military might. This powerful image represents Italy's fascist regime under Benito Mussolini, where patriotism was intertwined with religious orders. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that this parade serves as an inspection for these brave pilots who will embark on a journey across the vast Atlantic Ocean. Their rifles held firmly at their sides demonstrate their commitment to protecting their country's interests while exploring new horizons. Beltrame's masterful illustration not only highlights the strength and unity within Italy's armed forces but also emphasizes its growing influence in aviation technology. The fighter aircraft showcased here represent Italy's prowess in military aviation during this era. "The Great Atlantic Cruise" print encapsulates a pivotal moment when Italy embraced its nationalist ideals while embracing technological advancements. It stands as a testament to bravery, exploration, and national pride – all captured through Beltrame's artistic lens.
