EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Women of Cadore" by Achille Beltrame depicts a powerful moment of bravery and patriotism during World War I. In this vividly colored lithograph, we see Oliva Teso, a courageous Italian woman from Cadore, standing defiantly on her balcony. As an Austrian captain tries to prevent her from displaying the flag of Italy, Oliva fearlessly wraps herself in the tricolor and boldly declares, "I still expose her! And if she wants to shoot, here's my chest. I'll die at least with my flag, the flag of Italy". Her unwavering determination and love for her country shine through as she faces the threat head-on. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures the heroic spirit of this Italian heroine. The composition showcases Teso against a backdrop of a quaint home with open windows and balconies adorned with flags. The soldier below stands as a symbol of authority while Teso stands tall as an embodiment of resilience and national pride. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during times of war. It encapsulates both the strength and vulnerability that women displayed on the home front during World War I. Beltrame's skillful portrayal immortalizes Oliva Teso's act of defiance and celebrates her indomitable spirit in defense of her beloved Italy.
