EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from history that is both intriguing and unsettling. Illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli in 1930, it depicts young Venetian girls being kidnapped by Narentine pirates during a traditional celebration in the year 943. The illustration comes from Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" and is part of a private collection. The image transports us back to a time when piracy was rampant and no one was safe, even during moments of joyous festivities. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and fear on the faces of the captured girls as they are forcefully taken away by these malevolent corsairs. It serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by coastal communities throughout history, highlighting the vulnerability of innocent individuals who became victims to ruthless acts. The medium age coloring adds depth to this historical scene, immersing viewers into an era long gone but not forgotten. Scarpelli's attention to detail brings this illustration to life, capturing every emotion and nuance with precision. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of Venetian history. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of our shared human experiences across time and cultures. It prompts us to reflect on how traditions can be marred by violence while also appreciating our progress towards peace and security in modern times.
