EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Italian history - the Five Days of Milan, also known as Cinque giornate di Milano. Taking place from 18th to 22nd March 1848, this event marked one of the first episodes of the Revolutions of 1848 and played a significant role in the First Italian War of Independence. The image showcases the brave uprising of the Milanese population against Austrian occupation under Josef Radetzky. The citizens are seen standing tall on barricades, fiercely fighting for their freedom and independence. Their determination is palpable, as they unite with unwavering resolve to reclaim their city from foreign control. Illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli (1866-1937) for Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" in 1930, this artwork beautifully encapsulates the spirit and heroism displayed during those five historic days. Scarpelli's attention to detail brings life to each figure on the barricades, conveying their courage and defiance through his brushstrokes. Preserved within a private collection, this print serves as a powerful reminder of Italy's struggle for liberation during that tumultuous period. It stands as a testament to the resilience and unity exhibited by ordinary citizens who rose up against oppression.
