EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Italian history - the raising of the tricolore flag by Italian marines on the majestic Castle of Tripoli. Taken in 1911, this image symbolizes Italy's triumph and territorial expansion during that time. The castle itself stands tall and proud, overlooking the city of Tripoli with its ancient walls and towers. It serves as a powerful reminder of Italy's rich cultural heritage and historical significance. The Italian marines, known as Garibaldine del Mare, are seen hoisting the tricolore flag atop the castle's highest tower. This act represents their conquest and victory over Tripoli, marking an important milestone for Italy's colonial ambitions. The photograph is part of Tancredi Scarpelli's collection, showcasing his exceptional talent in capturing historical moments through his lens. The image was later featured in Paolo Giudici's book "Storia d'Italia" published by Nerbini in 1933. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a time when Italy was asserting its power on both national and international stages. It reminds us of the resilience and determination that shaped Europe during this era. This print not only celebrates Italian history but also highlights the unity within Europe as represented by the European Union (EU) flag mentioned alongside other relevant keywords associated with this artwork.
