EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph, titled "For the Christmas of the soldiers in Africa, departure from Milan, as from every other city, of avalanches. . " captures a poignant moment during the Italo-Turkish War. Created by Achille Beltrame in 1911, this artwork showcases the outpouring of support and generosity from the Italian public towards their soldiers stationed in Africa. The scene depicts a bustling train station platform in Milan, filled with soldiers and civilians alike. Soldiers can be seen loading bags and boxes onto carriages while civilians eagerly offer gifts to be transported to their loved ones fighting overseas. The atmosphere is one of excitement and anticipation as everyone comes together to ensure that no soldier is forgotten during the holiday season. Beltrame's attention to detail brings this heartwarming scene to life – from the colorful presents piled high on platforms to the expressions of gratitude on both soldiers' faces and those bidding them farewell. The lithograph serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for compassion even amidst times of conflict. This artwork not only commemorates an act of kindness but also highlights Italy's imperial ambitions during this period. It symbolizes how communities rallied together across cities like Milan to support their troops deployed far away in African colonies. "For the Christmas of the soldiers in Africa" stands as a timeless testament to unity, sacrifice, and hope – reminding us all that even in war-torn times, love can transcend borders.
