The image showcases Admiral Carlo Pellion di Persano, an esteemed figure who led the Italian fleet during the Battle of Lissa.

He wears his naval uniform adorned with medals and insignias that reflect his expertise and experience. Behind him flies the proud Italian flag, symbolizing national pride and unity. The Battle of Lissa was a pivotal event during the Third Italian War of Independence.
