The image showcases the second lieutenant Antonio Falco da Rossano di Cosenza, an Italian soldier whose bravery and sacrifice earned him the prestigious gold medal.

Despite overwhelming odds, he valiantly leads his men in a hand-to-hand fight against their French adversaries. The intensity of the battle is palpable as bodies lie strewn across the ground and gunfire fills the air. With unwavering determination, Lieutenant Antonio fights until his last breath, ultimately succumbing to a fatal stab wound to his neck.
