EDITORS COMMENTS
During World War I, food shortages were a major concern for both soldiers and civilians. In this powerful photo print, we see the Valentino being cultivated by the 23rd Territorial Militia Battalion as part of their war garden efforts. Three pairs of oxen are yoked to ploughs, symbolizing the hard work and dedication required to produce food during wartime.
The military took on the responsibility of setting an example for citizens by transforming every available plot of land into a food production area. The Fortress of the Medieval Village looms in the background, serving as a reminder of the harsh realities of war.
This image captures not only the physical labor involved in agriculture but also the resilience and determination of those fighting on the front lines. It is a poignant reminder that even in times of conflict, life must go on and basic needs such as food must be met.
Photographed by G. Musso in Turin between 1915-1918, this historic snapshot offers a glimpse into a challenging period in history when every resource was precious and every effort counted towards survival.
