EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Gold and iron for the Motherland" by Achille Beltrame depicts a powerful scene of patriotism and sacrifice. In this colourful lithograph, Italians from all walks of life are seen offering gold to their beloved Motherland, while children willingly give up their cherished bicycles in exchange for iron and other metals. The image beautifully captures the spirit of unity and dedication towards Italy during a time when nationalism was fervently embraced. The composition showcases a pile of pots, pans, and scrap metal being collected by soldiers and sergeants as an army flag proudly waves in the background. A crowd gathers around, witnessing this act of devotion to the nation. Amongst them are boys and girls who selflessly contribute their bicycles to support their country's cause. Beltrame's illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on 8th December 1935, serving as a visual representation of Italian society's commitment to fascism under Mussolini's regime. The artist skillfully portrays the values associated with this ideology - loyalty, sacrifice, and love for one's homeland. This remarkable artwork not only reflects the historical context but also highlights themes such as national pride, collective effort, and selflessness that transcend time. It serves as a poignant reminder of how individuals can come together for a greater purpose beyond personal gain or comfort.
