EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and dramatic print by Achille Beltrame. This color lithograph captures a remarkable incident that occurred near Varzi, Italy in 1936. A car, diverted at a turn of the road, crashed down a hill and unexpectedly landed on the roof of a rural house. Amongst wreckage and beams, the car penetrated a room where three people were having breakfast. The unfortunate occupants of the house suffered serious injuries in this shocking accident. The image serves as an illustration for Courier Sunday, dated July 12th, 1936. Beltrame's artwork skillfully portrays the chaos and destruction caused by this extraordinary event. The smashed tables and chairs are scattered across the room while remnants of shattered glass cover the floorboards. Despite its tragic nature, there is also an element of surrealism to this scene as it defies logic how such an unusual occurrence could take place. This photograph print not only documents an unforgettable moment but also highlights both the power and vulnerability associated with transportation. It reminds us that accidents can happen anywhere at any time, even within our own homes. "The Car That Enters Through the Roof" is a testament to Beltrame's artistic talent in capturing real-life events with precision and emotion. It serves as a reminder to appreciate life's unpredictability while emphasizing safety measures when operating vehicles on roads or even within our own communities.
