EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1925 takes us back to the era of Italian colonialism in Libya. The image showcases the imposing Barracks of the Guardia di Finanza Corps in Misurata Marina, a symbol of Italian control and authority during that time. Standing tall against the clear blue sky, this architectural marvel exudes strength and power. In the foreground, we see a lone soldier on horseback, dressed in his military uniform with pride. He represents not only protection but also embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized this period. The soldier's presence highlights the close bond between man and animal as they navigate through history together. The Italian flag fluttering high above adds a touch of patriotism to this scene, while Western script adorns various parts of the building exterior, reminding us of Italy's influence on Libyan culture at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by an unknown photographer, we are transported back to an important chapter in both Italian and Libyan history. It serves as a reminder of how nations have shaped one another through colonization and military conquests
