EDITORS COMMENTS
Le 'Soldat Inconnu' Italien: A Soldier's Unforgettable Journey to Santa Maria degli Angeli, Rome, 1921 This poignant photograph captures a solemn procession in Rome, Italy, as the body of an unknown Italian soldier is carried to the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The year was 1921, and the First World War had ended just two years prior. The image is a testament to the sacrifices made by the soldiers and the deep sense of mourning and commemoration that followed the devastating conflict. The soldier's body is placed on a gun carriage, a traditional method of transporting the deceased during military funerals. The somber scene is attended by the highest echelons of Italian society, including the king and princes, who follow the procession on foot. The crowd of mourners, both civilian and military, line the streets, paying their respects to the fallen hero. The image is a powerful symbol of the patriotic sentiment that swept through Italy during the post-war era. The unknown soldier represented the countless lives lost during the war, and his journey to Santa Maria degli Angeli was a tribute to the sacrifices made by all Italian soldiers. The photograph, taken from L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2 by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, stands as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring power of remembrance.
