Bersaglieri Depart Emotional Families Farewell Gear Leave Loved Matania Plumed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment of departure for Italian soldiers bound for the front lines during World War I. The scene unfolds at a bustling railway station, where troops in uniform, some distinguishable as members of the renowned Bersaglieri regiments by their distinctive plumed headgear, prepare to board a train. The soldiers bid a tearful farewell to their families and loved ones, their faces etched with a mix of sadness, determination, and resolve. One soldier, in a poignant gesture, is seen embracing his pet dog before leaving, adding an extra layer of emotional depth to the scene. The steam train, billowing smoke, symbolizes the uncertainty and danger that awaits these brave men. This powerful photograph, taken in 1915, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the First World War. The image is a historical document, created by the renowned Italian artist Edouardo Matania, and offers a glimpse into the human stories behind the larger conflict.
